A deep red beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is very hoppy combined with strong notes of caramel: The flavor is very sweet, but at the same time extremely dry, with an end that contains light woody notes. A nice powerful Scotch Ale.

(Bottle 65 cl) Pours a clear, dark brown with a warm, orangey glow. Lightly creamy, beige head. Full, malty aroma. Rich and full body with loads of roasted malt. Accents of overripe fruit and plums. Dry finish with vague burned notes. Very lovely indeed. 170406

Rather dark brown colour. Milk chocolatey malt aroma with caramel accents. Sweet flavour shows more caramel and chocolate in the malt profile. Balanced hoppiness.

22 fl oz bottle, thanks to thewolf. Pours dark brown with a reddish hue and a tan head. Fruity hops and light liqourice note in the aroma. Flavour starts sweet and soon shows a solid caramel malt base before the hops kick in and give a light spiced liqourice fruity flavour. Medium malty sweet and light hoppy finish with a medium dryness.
