Beautiful looking beer, golden amber coloured body, crystal clear condition. Lovely in everyway. This was cheeky rate for SilkT and I. Many thanks to our man Tony, from Louisiana, who recommended this treat.

Brilliant dark ale with a malty aniseed aroma. The flavour is generally sweet with a burn't finish. Overall a very good strong ale.

Linc (736) - Sydney, AUSTRALIA - JUN 7, 2003
UPDATED: JUL 28, 2005 Full and herbacious, malty, leafy aroma. Deep amber, fine white head. Leafy hop flavour, mildly bitter, full hop flavour on the finish. Nice one.

Hazy orange brown beer. Thin white head. Fizzy dry and spicy. Typically brittish.

Oakes (10202) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - OCT 14, 2002
Dark amber, hazy. Strong malt character. A little caramel note. Arguably more of an English Strong that a Scotch Ale, but I doubt I’d try to argue that point on the Isle of Skye.

Some gas, some head but nothing big, fizzy head .Amber color. Strong bitterness with metallic aftertaste.
