bottle-pours black tan red head. smells sour rasberries, astonshingly like a lambic, tastes really sour like a lambic as well. some butter, a nice surprise 3.7 RERATE- upon further inspection of a second bottle of celtic ale from the sconser lodge in skye, the first bottle i had was really a few months off. and the second bottle i had wasnt quite as off and showed the taste that it was meant to be. which really light tasting buttery toasty tasteless porter. i think if you like lambics or anything like that, than you should get one of these ales and cellar it until its off. it tastes amazing. however for the fresh one, 2.5.

Bottle: Hazy, deep amber coloured, mid-sized, slowly diminishing tanned head, fruity (dark berries) and light roastmalty nose; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, very light bodied; fruity finish with a light acidity, some umbels in the aftertaste. Good, very light one.....

Not black at all--deep ruby at best. MIld, malty caramel, slightly sour, and disappointingly dull. Thin palate. (on tap--cask I believe--at Toby Jug, Glasgow)

Bottle. Black beer with a light head. The aroma is very fruity, airy and quite thin, the flavour is a mixture of grassy and sour elements with a watery dry finish. Overall a poorish beer.
