Light chocolaty smell. Reddish brown with creamy head. Kinda milky looking as the head settles. Though I can taste a metallic twang, that’s because it was canned beer. Milky sweetness with a slight bitter background. Texture like slightly carbonated milk. Great scottish product.

Deep copper colored with a large, off-white head. It had a strong malt flavor, was creamy smooth and very well balanced. To me, it was hoppier and not as sweet as a classic Scotch. It was full-bodied and mouth filling. The creamy head lasted through the final swallow.

8/22/07 from the bottle. Aroma is malty/sour forward with light caramel, light roast and a light peaty smoke tone. Appearance is hazy medium copper with a good off-white head. Flavor is sweet malt forward with a medium bitter finish. Flavor is slightly sour and grainy. It sounds strange, but the flavor is crisp and clean despite having resiny hop tones. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a dry finish and a medium/low carb texture. Overall, a clean, good session beer, but the lack of craminess makes is far less appealing in many areas than the nitro can version, gave this one a slightly lower 3.8 6/20/07 From a pub draught can. Aroma is light caramel forward, light bubblegum candiness and some nutty notes. Beer is a clear copper with a persistent white head. Flavor is sweet caramel followed by some slightly sour malt. There is a light fruitiness, very low bittering and some hop flavor. Very rich. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with no finish; very creamy. Overall, a very good beer; maybe a little too rich to have more than one.

On tap at the Oasis. Always reasonably priced in bottles at Woodman’s. Nice caramel and smokey malts. Oasis had it with nitro. Good sweetness and hop bitterness
