A very good tasting Scottish Ale brewed with noticable peat smoked malts with a nice blend of hopps.

From the bottle, this is a dark copper with a thick, dense, long-lasting light tan head, very good, long-lasting lacing. It smells of toasty, yeasty bread with a fruity sweetness, caramel, pine and earth. It tastes moderately fuill-bodied, sweetish with a light, juicy and piney bitterness. It has a toasted malty flavour and body, caramel, bread, juice, prunes. There is a very evident, but well-balanced and not overpowering crisp, hoppy bitterness up front that fades nicely into a malty finish. It’s wonderful, being incredibly drinkable and smooth yet very full of flavour.

Love it. My Dad introduced this to me a few months ago when I visited him in Georgia. At the time Guiness was my fave (Still love it by the way) but there was just somthing about this brew. I’ve now had it in bottles and on tap. Both excellent. Creamy, decent foamy head, nutty, and very rich and thick. Kind of sweet but not overly. Lingers on the palate. Sometimes before I take that first swig I’ll sniff it for a few seconds, it smells that good! Greene King Abbot Ale is very similar to this and depending on what kind of mood I’m in I’ll drink either one. The only drawback is this stuff is 10 bucks a sixpack. Still cheaper than cocaine! Haha
