A hazy amber beer with a small collapsing beige head. The aroma is sour and fruity. The flavor is malty with notes of roasted bread and overripe fruit, leading to a dry end. But the body is thin.

White rim only, heavy pearling notwithstanding; clear amber beer. Nose with caramel and toffee. Faint aroma hops in the taste, and, again, caramel and roasted sugars. Very light bodied, watery ànd sticky finish. Aftertaste gives a bit of oxidation, which is strange for a BBD 4/04. Light and sweet. Another example of the weak British yeasts, IMO.

(Cask conditioned). Sampled at the Wear Valley CAMRA beer festival. (Room temperature, low natural carbonation). Copper coloured. A Scottish "heavy" like it should be. Good, but not so very special. Aviemore brewery changed its name in 2001 to Cairngorm brewery. Website: www.cairngormbrewery.co.uk Cairngorm also brew Tomintoul beers.

Bottled. My first impression of this beer was that it was very lively. It was quite easy to notice as half the beer shot out of the bottle like a spirit trapped for centuries. The remaining beer, which was not on my floor, was nut brown and had a flowery nose. It was dry and roasty with sparkling mouthfeel and nice bitter finish.

Nutbrown. Fruit and coffee in the nose. Very roasty and rather malty. Burnt, salty finish.

A sweet lager, a little bit sticky. Reminds me a lot of Estonian lagers, and that's not a good thing.
