Jan 22, 2009 Updated: Sep 28, 2009Frothy head; dark and tawny. Caramel-like and slightly sweet. Frothy and fresh-tasting. Very smooth finish. I really enjoyed this beer and am looking forward to getting the 4 pack. I drank it while watching Beowulf, too. Just a coincidence.
Re-rate: 9/26/09-- Wow, this stuff is great. It’s a delicious and smooth malt-bomb. Lush, creamy mouth feel and smooth and clean finish with no alcohol bullying. Outstanding beer.

Jan 15, 2009 Bottle from Corks, Bristol. Dark brown with reddish undertones and a decent, but short-lived, off-white head. Aroma of caner sugar, red fruits, doughy malts and earthy hops. Flavour was sweet, with a touch of fortified wine fruitiness, caramel and a bitter, slightly savoury finish. Distinctive and good.

Jan 15, 2009 Bottle shared by durhambeer. Thanks Bobo! Nose has a strange bready malty yeastiness to it that is very similar to a cask wee heavy I once had at Boston Beer works. Very malty and bready throughout. Definitely a Scottish take on the style. Not for me.
