Commercial Description:
Cask & Bottled;
A historically accurate beer based on the recipe devised on the 8th of February 2007. Recreated using the finest coloured malts which provide the complex sweet malt character which initially arouses the senses. Like a fine cheese cake the biscuit base has a smooth and creamy layer that both satisfies and entices. Culminating with a delicate fruit topping of blackcurrant and tinges of citrus to refresh the participant, complimented fully by the crisp dry bitter finish.

A clear and bright amber beer with a weak tan coloured head that is thick and creamy. Really good retention with some spotty lacing. The aroma is quite nice with weak caramel and biscuit malts, notable hops and a faint fruit.... something here reminded me of a hearty bread. WOW! Really good taste early on. A great mix of stiff bitterness and malt balance. Tasty herbal hops, solid dry bready malts (maybe a bit of biscuit?), weak citrus. Don’t drink this too fast of the hops overtake everything. Odd for me to say this but the hops were too much and killed a bit of the flavour. Maybe I’ve been away from hop bombs for too long.... The mouth feel was smooth but tangy with a good swish and seemed light medium bodied. Huge hop mouth demolition.

Bottle. Slight cloudy light brown with a nice white lacing head. Aromas of malt, caramel, citrus, some cellar and pine. Flavour of toffee, bitter hops, soap and resin.

Poor head on an amber body. Caramel noticeable straight up in the aroma and the taste, body seems almost full, a bit of citrus coming through late. Seems to have plenty of time left before best before but doesn’t taste fresh or it didn’t travel well maybe a little too laid back.

Amber with a lasting white head. Aroma has citrus and pine hops, malt and fruity English yeast character. Dry with some caramel flavour, and lots of pine hop flavour and bitterness.

Bottle @ Scheffel. BB 11/08. Pours unclear amber with a small creamy and bubbly head. Nose is malty - bread and toffee. Hoppy grassy and bready taste. Medium bodied. Ends dry and hoppy.

"Crystal clear body with a massive tan cap that’s not leaving, lacing is sticky and thick. Mild hops, crisp breadyness and after fifteen seconds of smelling all aroma has disappeared. Beer feels thin and a touch watery but with good carbonation. Taste is bitter, pears, hops, bread, perfumey flavour. The bitterness in the after taste is very long lasting and powerful. Not to bad this is by far the most hops I’ve ever come across in a bitter but it works I like it."

Bottle mail ordered direct. Amber with a subdued off white head. Nice pure aroma. Predominately malty with restrained english hop bitternrss. Rounded with reasonable body but no outstanding charactue. Maybe brewed for the traditionally low hopped scottish preferance, but pretty bland in my books. I wouldn’t bother ordering it again.

Sample thanks to Adam77. Pour is amber with a caramel colored head. Aromas of malt and slight hops. Flavor is caramel, floral hops, and carbonation. Decent and not worth the price it sells for.
