Jul 9, 2008 Cask, Village Inn, Arrochar. Dark chestnut colour with a thin off white head. Aroma lovely, lots of dark christmas fruit with a healthy dose of malt. Full bodied and very smooth. Great long, dry finish. The first one didn’t touch the sides. Delicious. A cracker.

Feb 6, 2008 500ml filtered bottle in Loch Long Hotel. "A very dark rich ale". A dark ale, more in line with a mild than a stout perhaps. There’s a pleasant roasty quality, a decent smoothness, and a light fruit wrapped up in a dry but not biting finish. A very pleasing and well held together ale. Probably the best of the Fyne Ales.

Oct 31, 2007 Gravity Cask @ Guide Dog Beer Festival. Copper. Toasty verging on roasted malts with clean fruit sweetness. Some bitterness and slight fruit tartness.

Oct 31, 2007 Cask at Market Porter. Dark brown beer with a thin tan head. Aroma is quite faint and thin. A bit of coffee and toasted malt but overall it lacks a lot of character. Some earthy character and a fairly assertive bitterness. Kind of boring.
