Bottle. Red brown colour with an average lasting white head. Fruity aroma of hops and sweet toasted malts. Bit sweet flavour, roastness of malts, fruits (raisins) and good bitterness in the end. Average dry bitter aftertaste. Great brew!

Bottle. Dark amber color. Pear, hints of blackcurrant and some distant hops in the aroma. Blackcurrant and hops in the somewhat earthy flavor. Thinnish. Ash. Just a touch of alcohol. Sweet and a bit sticky mouthfeel.

Wonderful burgundy red colour with nice off-white to beige head. Aromas range from smoke to cranberries with hints of caramel and toffee. The taste is more centred around the smoke, but a creamy mouthfeel makes that appear great. Some nuts (sweet ones) a touch of alcohol and some citric zest at the end...

16.9oz bottle-pours a light tan head and red color. Aroma is sweet medium malt-caramel/brown sugar, dark fruit-cherry. Taste is sweet medium malt-caramel/brown sugar, peat, dark fruit-cherry, balanced/secondary spicy/earthy hops with some bite which offsets the sweetness. Later more herbal comes through. Not quite my taste but nicely done.

Clear brown rum apperance. Very big beige head tops it nicely. It’s fairly mild on the nostrils, but has pretty much everything I expect from a scotch ale. It’s caramelic, butterscotchey, faintly smokey with traces of berries or melon. Leather notes on the palate, refreshing from a moderately small malt acidity. Slight vegetal oil touch. It’s well done for a beer that is mostly about caramel malt interplays. Just lighter than I expected and the thin-medium body could be fuller, especially with that rather high carbonation. Good

Aroma is spicey and sweetish. Taste is lager malts like a bock with cinnamon Scotland can do better.
