Cask at the Gallows Bird, Espoo, Finland.
Dark coppary reddish colour with small greyish tan head.
Sourness, tartness and sweetish malt in aroma. I don't think it's supposed to be like this but it's not necessarily bad.
Flavour is mild hops and heavy grainy malt.

Sweet malt aroma with a touch of chocolate and a hint of spicy hops. Fairly pale for the style and a touch cloudy but has a good off white head. Flavour is still good but doesn’t quite live up to the aroma

3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle (bottle conditioned) at London tasting, May 2008 (courtesy harrisoni). BBE March 2009. Clear amber colour. Surprisingly prominent tangy, fruity hop aroma for a Scottish 80/-. Perhaps the late additional aroma hopping accounts for that. More malty on the palate, with some smoky notes, although the mouthfeel has slightly ashy feel and falls away a little. Nonetheless it’s a pretty tasty, if not entirely traditional 80/-, although I have no problem with that as I am not a big fan of stingily hopped Scottish ales.
