Nov 20, 2007 Cask, Alloa Beer Festival. Nose is medicinal with a balance of malt and hop, some fruitiness. Mouth is sweet maltiness, false orange. Tasted bad.

Jan 4, 2007 Bottle at home. Dark amber with a moderate head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, fruit, apple. I find the same notes in the flavour, that also has notes of caramel. There is a brief acidity in the middle and a nice bitterness generally. It’s too apple-juice-like and too thin.

Jul 30, 2005 Cask, at the Sligachan Hotel, Isle of Skye. Yeasty aroma, pretty much drowned out everything else. Deep Amber color with nice lacing and a cascading head a-la Guinness. Yeasty taste, hop bitterness with a bit of malt sweetness hiddin in there. Served warm, but for some reason I liked it that way. Optimum drinking setting made for a high overalll score
