Tap at Crux, Bend, 23/05/13. Clear dark amber with thin off white head. Nose is banoffee pie, light booze, caramel, dark fruits. Taste comprises dark malt, toffee, marshmallow, touch of booze, sugars. Full bodied, fine carbonation, warming booze in the finish. Decent enough strong ale, alcohol is well integrated, but lacks any real depth to make it a great.

Tap at the brewery, 23/05/13. Lightly hazed chestnut brown with a thin beige head. Nose is dark malt, dark toffee, sugars, light smoke. Taste comprises a big smokey kick, peat, caramel, toffee, sugars. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light smokey note in the finish. Not a fan of Scotch/Scottish ales, if such a thing really exists, but the peaty smokey gig amidst this one made it enjoyable.

On tap at Apex, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma of Belgian yeast, dry rustic qualities and some funk. Flavour of rustic notes, Belgian yeast and a bit of candied sugar. Not authentic in any way - very US-tasting. Still, very drinkable and flavourful enough - just not my type of saison.
