Tasted this in the Saltcot, Saltcoats (JDW) in July 2008. Cask, handpump dispense. Pale copper red in colour with a tight creamy buff white head. Barley grain short in the aroma. Good thin creamy mouthfeel and good lacing. Pale malt gives burnt grain note in the mouth, with a digestive malt base with fruit notes of raisins and plums. Nutty aftertaste with no trace of hop resins evident. Smooth malty finish. A really decent strong Scottish export this and well recommended.

3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Dark brownish beer witha reddish tinge. The aroma is very sour, lightly smoked, and slightly spiced, and the flavour is sour, bitter and sweetish smoked. Overall a slightly disappointing beer.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Pretty much a bog standard bitter. this was labelled as Stirling ale, I’m sure it was bought in Tesco, doesn’t really matter I don’t think I’d have bought it again.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottled 50cl. It pours a beautiful dark ruby beer with a small tanned head. The nose is nicely smoky with hints of raisins and honey. Nicely balanced. Raisins, honey, licorice allsorts and heather in the taste which are accompanied by a great smokiness. Sweet. Outstanding full finish with hints of dark chocolate, licorice and heather. Excellent.

Bridge of Allan Brewery, Scotland.

Amber with small head. Aroma of malt and a hint of smoke. Flavor of caramel malt and a roasted dryness. Medium bitterness.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
(Bottle 50 cl) Comes as: "Wallace Monument Traditional 80/- Ale". Slightly hazy amber golden with an off-white head. Somewhat unclean malt aroma. Light-bodied with some tartness and some earthy notes, sort of like elder flower. Distinctly smoked accents and a bitter finish. Odd to have a Bitter with peat smoke being the dominant flavour. More like a Scottish Ale really? 170107
