500mL bottle, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a medium. Nose is full of diacetyl, English hops, and butterscotch. Flavour is full of butterscotch, diacetyl, and subdued bready malt. The diacetyl and butterscotch character ruins this for me. Not good.

Adding in my 300 Beers To Try ticks because I want to see how they impact my stats and some of them I will never see again. Will however re-rate them when practical. Ordered on-line from Scotland. Hit the spot for whatever reason.

Bottle at home, 17th November 19. Pours light black. Aroma is tart and malty. Taste is vinous and acidic, tart, infected drain pour of a beer, I hope this wasn’t intentional. Very poor excuse of a stout.

Bottle picked up at Kilchoman. It pours darkest brown with a quickly dissipating tan head. The aroma is rich roasted character, warming, smoked malt, peat reek, dark fruit, berry and charred wood. The taste is dry, sour dark fruits at the beginning, blueberry, blackberry, roasted malt, smoked action and prune with a drying finish. Light to medium body and fine to low carbonation. Better than the pale version. Fruity. A bit sour perhaps, but kind of OK.
