A red brown beer with no head. The aroma is sweet with some weird notes of hops. The flavor is malty with notes of berries and roasted bread before a dry hoppy end sets in. A fine tasting beer.

(Bottle 50 cl) Very unclear amber golden with a small, off-white head. Aromas of overripe fruit. Medium body with a very low carbonation. Flavours also of overripe fruit, wood noble rot and a sherry like edge. Some hops in the finish. Very British and very fascinating. 251106

Århus2008. 50 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a lacing white head. Light malty and towards spiced aroma. Fruity and berry flavour with a light acidic touch and a mild bitterness. Dry and bitter finish.

Bottled. Deep orangeish amber colour with mediumsized off-white head that leaves some lace. Aroma is sweet malts, some hops, a bit leathery notes as well as slightly grassy and fruity notes as well. Flavour is leathery, honeyish, sweet malty as well as some mild toffeeish notes and mild spices. Alcohol is rather wellhidden, but gives a slight warming touch.

Bottled. Hazy amber. Flowery malty nose. Sweet, rich and soft with loads of toffee and notes of alcohol. Hop bitter finish.

Bottled. Dark orange and hazy. Big toffee aroma. Really full bodied. Lovely maltiness and filling mouthfeel. Balanced sweetness and loads of chocolate flavour - the finish as all chocolate. Low bitterness. A truly outstanding Scottish ale!

Bottled at DBF 2005. Cloudy orange coloured with a small off white head. Malty flavour with lots of caramel and fruity notes. Low carbonation. Malty flavour with notes of caramel. Ordinary.

Bottle at ÅBF08. OK malty aroma. Smokey flavour. Quite nice, creamy, malty and smokey. Slightly sour.

Amber color. Interesting malt profile, between a Barley Wine and an IPA, with a long palate.

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.
