500ml bottle. Clear, orangey golden colour with average to huge, frothy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Smoky, malty aroma, hints of peat and leather. Taste is bitter hoppy, peaty, smoky, citrusy hoppy overtones with a lemon touch; super soft palate, gentle carbonation. Unbalanced, inharmonious, needs an "emulsifier" to link peat and citrus notes.

500ml bottle shared with Ashton McCobb. Pours hazy brown with a thin beige head. Aromas of red fruit, light spice, ginger and cloves. Taste is sweet, cinnamon and cola. Thin finish, can’t get the cola likeness out of my head.

Bottle from Islay Ales. Appearance - dark brown and cloudy wit has thin off white head. Nose - loads of cloves, maybe prunes. Raisins. Taste - major ginger and dried fruit notes. A bit too ginger. Then cola bottle notes. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy yet tangy texture and a long dry tangy finish. Overall - interesting and general cola thing going on. A bit thin though and ginger too dominant.

Bottle from Islay Ales. Appearance - black olive sheen or gloss. Great fawn head. Nose - light charcoal with toffee, caramel and molasses. Biscuits on the back. Taste - tonnes of liquorice and charcoal at the front. Mild toffee and molasses. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy yet crunchy texture and a long dry if slightly gnarly finish. Overall - a challenging but rewarding dry stout.

Bottle from Islay Ales. Appearance - deep amber with a lovely creamy head. Nose - smoked ham, light peat. Taste - smoky but not as rich and fruity as the Artisan ale. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy yet smoky texture and a long dry finish. Overall - not as interesting as the Artisan.

Bottle from Islay Ales. Appearance - deep amber with not much carbonation. Nose - smoked ham, pleasant like a German smoked beer. Taste - smoked ham and a bit of caramelised vegetables. Maybe burnt marmalade. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy yet smoky texture and a long dry smoky finish. Overall - pretty good!
