Can from BrewDog. It pours clear pale yellow with a decent white cap. The aroma is fresh, zingy, fragrant, mint hits you upfront, fresh mint tea, lime peel, lemon balm, floral and some soft sweetness. The taste is crisp, dry, clean, pithy, zesty, tangy, lemon - lime, dull pucker, juicy, bright, herbal tea infusion, chamomile and smooth mint (this is way more subdued than on the nose). Finish is clean and dry. Light body and fine, spritzy carbonation. As an alcohol free I like it. Given the can and branding, wasn't sure I was going to. Clean, bright and very drinkable.

Can from Westhill Service Station. It pours jet black with a dark tan head.

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. Fulsome body and average carbonation. Not nearly as sweet as I had feared. Works well as a dessert beer.

20 litre bag in box direct from Ross on Wye and served in Oldmeldrum. It pours clear deep golden with a bubbly head which dissipates. The aroma is quite fresh and bright, zippy and zingy, crunchy apple, apple skin, sherbet, dried apple, oak, must, white grape, hay and mellow barnyard. The taste is firm and dry, but softens and smooths out, dry oak, light tannin, juicy, crunchy apple, apple skin, dried leaves, light leather, must, touch nutty, light pucker, hint of acidity and very restrained alcohol presence (especially given the abv). Finish dries out. Medium body and smooth mouth feel. Classy and very well balanced. Moreish.
