Bottle from Westhill SS. It pours clearish deep orangey - amber with a thick, foamy beige head. The aroma is sweet - spicy, gingerbread, digestive biscuits, orange peel, biscotti and brown bread. The taste is dry, dull bitterness, biscuit, wood, earthy, resin, pithy, soapy citrus, orangey tang and tannin with a drying and slightly grainy finish. Average body and moderate, foamy carbonation. A bit grainy and drying. Not their best...

Bottle picked up in Westhill. It pours deep reddish - brown with medium light tan head. The aroma is soft, fruity, ripe strawberry takes the lead, juicy, jammy, tangy, jelly babies and Victoria sponge cake. The taste is crisp, yet soft, fruity, juicy, tangy, real strawberry character throughout (not an artifical one), jammy, Victoria sponge cake, splash of cola and just a touch of woody tannin. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Has a nice real fruit character. A very solid fruit beer.

Bottle picked deep / dark brown with a decent off-white head. The aroma is sweet, sticky, dried figs, figgy pudding, sultana, raisin, fruit cake, pie crust, spice, cherry cola, plum and date. The taste is dry roast, bitter - sweet, oily, plum, date, prune, Dr Pepper, cherry cola, fruit cake, toasty malts, touch of burnt toast, touch of booze, cola cubes and slightly herbal / medicinal with a slick finish. Medium body and moderate, prickly carbonation. Maybe errs on the sweet side, but there is a good load of fruitiness. Decent.
