2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
33cl bottle. Stunning black opaque with lovely creamy head. The nose is smokey and creamy but a little bit closed. The taste is very creamy and the smoke is also still there - there’s an underlying note which is hard to pin down, but it is possibly just the alcohol burn though there is a peatiness. Good structure, very creamy but not sure about the finish. Overall, it promised a lot but left me confused!

thin/med body and a little fizzy
very sweet. rich, syrupy taste with coffee in middle and malty finish
really good. no big or aggressive flavours and alcohol isn’t noticeable at all.

Reminds of Hefeweizen, which I like much. Interesting blend of flavors, cannot put my finger on it but as I said weizen and that’s why the good ratings.
0.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 1/20
Cask at Kingdom of Fife BF 07. This must have been a bad barrel, because this was truly awful. Very cloudy yellow, no head. Nose is sharp citrus, with no robustness, some sour hop here too. Mouth tastes like my vomit, acidic and bile. Couldn’t manage more than a couple of gulps, definite drain pour.
