Cask at The Globe Aberdeen. It pours clear deep gold - amber with a limited head. The aroma is soft, sappy, oily, sticky, digestive biscuit and earth. The taste is bitter - sweet, quite slick, sappy, resin, leather, caramel, peppery spice and slightly floral with a drying finale. Average body and light carbonation (perhaps could be done with a to touch more). Old school golden bitter vibes. It's decent enough, by better condition would lift it further.

440ml can from Asda in Dunbar - clear amber body with a short lived white top. Heavily bitter hop start, very earthy grassiness, not an easy one to enjoy.

10/5/2026. Bottle shared by LazyPyro, cheers Chris! Pours nicely, good colour, small head. Aroma is smoky and a little peaty, rich honey, caramel, malty, flowery, hedgerow. Medium sweet, moderately bitter. Medium body, oily, soft carbonation. Not typically a smoked beer fan but this works nicely in this mead.

Can from Uilebhiest. Pours hazy orange to brown with a decent off white head. Aromas of floral honey, toffee, orange, red fruit and apple. Taste is more of the same. Not as honeyed as feared! Definite barley wine vibes.
