AshtonMcCobb (1442) - Edinburgh, - MAR 9, 2012
50cl bottle. Pours dark brown to black, probably cola in reality, gentle bubbles and a nicely proportioned head. The nose has raisins and hazelnuts. The taste is more of ginger biscuits and toffee. The palate is medium bodied with a tangy texture and a drying finish. Overall, this has a lot of taste for 3%, though slightly less enjoyable than the Dark Munro.

500ml bottle. Clear dark copper colour with average, frothy to creamy, minimally lacing, off-white head. Slightly roasted grainy aroma, unripe spelt grain, underlying caramel malty notes touching on chocolate. Taste is moderately dry roasty grainy, minimally grassy, a bit watery.

Bottle: Deep ruby-amber coloured, clear, mid-sized creamy off-white lacy head, light to moderate dry roasty nose with traces of caramel underneath; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, light bodied - as expected; dry and lingering roasty-caramelly and malt-bitter finish. Incredible! Such a tasty brew, and only 3% ABV...
