Bottle direct from Futtle..it pours deep hazy oily golden with a bubbly white head which lasts to the last sip. The aroma is ripe, tangy, musty, fermenting plums, prune, sherbet, jammy, fig roll, vinous, red wine and Victorian sponge cake. The taste is initially it is smooth and fruity, juicy, spritzy, puckering, sherbet, tangfastics, bright plum character, slightly lactic, damp oak, muted acidic, dull funk, jammy fruits, tangy berry, fig, touch of redcurrant and some floral accents with a dry, puckering fruit finish. Light to average body and soft, massaging carbonation. Lovely balance to it. Quite vibrant and classy. Quaffable.

The taste is smooth, fairly sweet and full in the mouth, rich chocolate action, gateaux, salted caramel, biscuit, shortbread , definite millionaire's shortbread , chewy, burnt toast, dark roasted malt, slick, oily, slightly charred and quite well hidden alcohol with a drying, toasty finish.

Keg at Foghouse, Inverue. It pours clear golden - amber with a medium fluffy white. The aroma is sweet, fragrant, spicy, Christmas spice, cinnamon, cinnamon, nutmeg, toasty grains and biscuit. The taste is crispy, dry, dull bitterness, quite snappy, touch of fragrant, spicy, clove, cinnamon and festive fun time. Spicy finish. Average body and moderate, foamy carbonation. A novelty, perhaps more drinkable than I expected.
