simontomlinson	1.1 Trossachs LadeBack Bottle bbe 03/2024 No carbonation. Sour. Off. There's clearly an issue with this bottle but as in date should have been fine. Saturday, February 3, 2024
jamesie1857	3.2 Trossachs LadeOut On cask at Lade Inn, Kilmahog - cloudy brown with an off white head. Smoky liquorice notes but a little lacking in the flavour. Some fruitiness but fairly meh. Tuesday, September 12, 2023
mike_77	3.6 Trossachs WayLade Brewed by Tryst mentioned on the label. Pale blond colour with lasting head. Really packed with pale malts giving a pleasant background sweetness. Just enough hop to give it a pleasant bitter aftertaste. Thursday, May 26, 2022

Jerseyislandbeer	3.2 Trossachs LadeBack Old rating from 2011 - 500ml bottle from the Scottish Real Ale Shop in Kilmahog. Pours brown with a white creamy head. Aromas & tastes of biscuit, earth, caramel & roasted malt. Medium body. Dry finish Also had Dec 2017 on cask at the Lade Inn Thursday, April 22, 2021
flying_pig	3.2 Trossachs LadeBack 500ml bottle: Mahogany coloured with a 1cm,foamy white head that holds very well with quite a thick look to it & tiny bits of sediment through the body too. A roasted malt bitterness & biscuit notes open the nose with earthy touches & light caramel towards the end, with subtle summer fruits to finish. Its more bitter tasting than the nose, lots of earthy malts & roasted touches but nothing really dominated, some biscuit & caramel flavours again round things off whilst the body is smooth, medium & slightly fizzy without being overdone but it's definitely a basic beer overall. Tuesday, February 2, 2021
flying_pig	3.5 Trossachs WayLade 500ml bottle: Light golden & quite clear with a 3cm, foamy head that's thick looking, dome shaped & bone white with good retention. It's floral on the nose initially before a sourness & some apples come through alongside some citrus & subtle biscuit notes. The taste is mainly the biscuit & citrus from the nose with none of the sourness, it's slightly floral with a few pale malts too. It has a light-medium body & strong, fine carbonation with a sharp, tangy finish. Tuesday, February 2, 2021
flying_pig	3.3 Trossachs LadeOut 500ml bottle: Chestnut brown & translucent but the head was ridiculously foamy & oversized, siting about 4 inches tall even after a very slow gentle pour & the bottle ended up overflowing when I opened it too but there was some nice lacing on the glass as well. The nose is nutty initially with earthy malts & a slightly sour middle then light roasted notes to finish. Some dark chocolate comes through with the taste with the earthy malts & nutty flavours too but it's an improvement on the nose at least. It's medium bodied & tangy with a little fizz at the end but otherwise it's moderately carbonated. Tuesday, February 2, 2021

gunnar	2.8 Trossachs LadeOut Cask at The Lade Inn, Callander. Pours clear very dark ruby with a small tanned head. Aroma of dark chocolate. Taste is smooth,with a light tarty fruity note, acidic even, probably not intended by the brewer, which ruins the experience for me. Wednesday, July 17, 2013
