Pretty much a bog standard bitter. this was labelled as Stirling ale, I’m sure it was bought in Tesco, doesn’t really matter I don’t think I’d have bought it again.

Bottled 50cl. It pours a beautiful dark ruby beer with a small tanned head. The nose is nicely smoky with hints of raisins and honey. Nicely balanced. Raisins, honey, licorice allsorts and heather in the taste which are accompanied by a great smokiness. Sweet. Outstanding full finish with hints of dark chocolate, licorice and heather. Excellent.

Bridge of Allan Brewery, Scotland. Bottled, 250708. Amber with small head. Aroma of malt and a hint of smoke. Flavor of caramel malt and a roasted dryness. Medium bitterness.

(Bottle 50 cl) Comes as: "Wallace Monument Traditional 80/- Ale". Slightly hazy amber golden with an off-white head. Somewhat unclean malt aroma. Light-bodied with some tartness and some earthy notes, sort of like elder flower. Distinctly smoked accents and a bitter finish. Odd to have a Bitter with peat smoke being the dominant flavour. More like a Scottish Ale really? 170107

Reddish brown, moderate head, and the aroma has notes of roasted malt and fruit. The flavour has slightly sour notes of malt, a bit of smoke, fruit, caramel and a very light bitterness with a dry, slightly harsh citrus note.
