i really enjoyed this, and found it really interesting, big fat bubbly head, dark brown in colour, malty, sweet, spicy, warming, tasty, a bit of candy floss in there aswell, but its nice and dry in the end, very pleasant.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
750ml bottle from Londis Westholme stores, Goring on Thames, Oxon 03-05-08 Chesnut in clour with a large tan fluffy head. Yeast, malt and a slight soft sourness on the nose. Taste is sweet, malty and like a spicey toffeeness swirling around the mouth it gets a little sticky at times and as pleasant as it is I wish this bottle had of been a little smaller, nonetheless a decent beer.

Bottle. High fluffy off-white and lasting head. Hazy dark orange body. Grassy barley malt aroma. Spicy and dry malt flavor with distinct hops bitterness. The high alcohol percentage is well hidden partly by the bitterness partly by the carbonation.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Dark mahogany color with a good head and lacing, just right for the style. Enough carbonation to keep my chimay glass busy with it’s bubblicious column of aromomatic generation. The aroma has is lightly malty like a scotch but has a definate belgian quality to it. A bit of sweet malts and vinous hops. The flavor has a good amount of alcohol with some dark malts and tart toffee. Finishes very belgian with some bottle conditioned yeasyness and a little tart kick. Not too bad, unique scotch for sure though.
