Bottle. Gorgeous pour. Deep red with luscious head. Stunning lattice-work looks like the Alhambra. Nice bright herbal hop in the aroma. Subtle, clean, crisp like a forest in fall. Slight berry tartness. Flavors also include hints of berry. Solid bittering hops. Finishes with raspberry. Not my favorite of the Orkneys but solid, clean, and good.

Bottle, many thanks to Craig, cgarvieuk for this one, cheers Craig Pours reddy brown with very good clarity, off white head. Taste is quite clean, some maltiness and fruits shine through but there is also a slightly metallic edge to this, also there maybe just a hint of smokiness. Enjoyable beer that went down very well.

500 ml bottle...pours dark amber w/ a crimson tone. Fluffy light-tan head that settles into a frothy top and provide ample amounts of drippy lacing. Aroma of flowers, toasted nuts, caramel, and some sweet fruitiness. Packed full of sweet malts and spicy hops! Lovely mix of the two..notes of smoke, grains, grass, grapefruit. Palate is dry, front is sweet and the back is packed with a lingering bitter finish. Excellent!

Not to much carb... nice dark color. Slightly watery vanilla malty flavor with. the is a a very weak woody lingering taste too. The weak carb stays on your tongue a little while along with the flavor. Good stuff.

Beautiful dark brown pour with a touch of red. Nice solid tan head and good lacing. Solid malt flavor with a touch of sour bitterness in the back of the throat.
