Bottled. Slightly hazy orangeish amber colour with a small white head. Aroma is fruity, leathery, caramelly and a bit nutty as well. Flavour is wood, fruits, mild nuttyness as well as some slight toffee and grassy/floral bitterness.

500 ml bottle. From Carnoustie, Scotland.
Cloudy amber colour with small frothy off-white head. Mild fruity aroma with some sweetness. Mild but nice aroma. Woody dry malty flavour with moderate bitterness and mild hoppiness. OK flavour with some yeast. Mild bitterness in aftertaste.

Cask (gravity dispense) at Pigs Ear Beer Festival, day 4 on 2 December 2010. Amber colour. Fruity malt with some odd plastic notes in the aroma. Sweetish on the palate. Caramel and toffee in the flavour. Drinkable enough but a bit low on hops for my taste.
