Rich malty flavour combined with great salted caramel dance over the tongue, hops are very mild and that is what makes this such a great beer. Well balanced with quite a distinct nose, not a lot of head and just the right amount of carbonation for a silky smooth mouthfeel.

(650ml bottle) Purchased at The Strath. Pours a medium white head atop a brown body. Nose of sweet caramel almost a toasty toffee aroma. Very smooth, and little detection of the alcohol - its a tad thin but easily drinkable. I don't know that this will age well but it doesn't likely matter as your lap it up immediately. --- reviewed on RateBeer.com

Bright orange and caramel nose with saltwater taffee flavour, remains smooth and bright throughout the bottle. I was in the mood for a DIPA but didn’t have any in the fridge. I liked this at least as much. Nice, a beer I love that tastes like nothing I’ve remotely had before. That’s enough to tick it up from a 3.9 to a 4.

This brewery appears to be solid across the styles.

Tried this at a tasting today and had to take a bottle home for an in-depth review. Pours a nice deep ruby, two fingers of frothy off-white head that lingers. Aroma reminds me immediately of those awesome hard caramels in the orange wrappers they used to give out at Hallowe’en. Tasting - tastes a lot like those caramels, nice sweet malt, a tiny bit of breadiness, a hint of salt, though I don’t know if that is just because it says it on the bottle or there actually is a bit of salt in here. Nice rich mouthfeel, lingering taste. A very good offering.

650 ml bottle. Pours a dark red.brown with medium head that settles quickly. Aromas of toffee, peanuts, and roasted malts. Flavors of of butterscotch, salted toffee, salted nuts, and malt. Neat.

Pours a hazy dark copper colour with an off white average head dissipating to a medium sized ring around the glass. Aromas of salt water, sweet, caramel(Not to be confused with diacytal). Flavours are salty, sweet, caramel, roasted malt, some nuttiness, quite smooth being a 7.5 abv beer.

Pours a cloudy reddish brown with a nice off white ring that leaves some good lacing. Aroma is a nice sweet caramel with a good amount of sea salt sourness. Taste is caramel & sea salt with some bready cereal. Very well balanced for 7.5 points. Love the addition of the caramel and salt Walter but staying true to the scotch style.

Pours a lovely clear deep reddish bronze with creamy foam. Aroma is lots of caramel, toffee, molasses, slight tobacco. Taste adds lots of caramel again, with some preserved fruit added. Salt is there. It’s principally sweet, as you’d expect, but something about it (partial credit to the salt no doubt) gives it a ’savoury’ balance so it doesn’t get cloying.

salt in beer? hell yeah its like saltwater caramel taffe a total treat and high percent get down.

Relatively clear brown with a good sized off-white head that leaves some nice lacing. Aroma is caramel, dark bread, toffee, fudge. Creamy mouthfeel, good body, sweet on the palate with a little salt on the finish. Taste is caramel, butter, sticky toffee pudding, tea cake, hint of salt. Quite a unique flavour - nicely done!
