Oct 18, 2005 Bottle from Asda. Dark brown with off white head. Aroma contains roasty malt, little bit of smoke, dried fruits and spice. Thin bodied as you would expect from a 3% beer. Soft malty finish. Not as good as the cask version, but a classy beer for the gravity.

Oct 11, 2005 Updated: Feb 7, 2006Well, this one was a little more descent, it was dark, as I like them, but an Ale after all. I finally was told properly how about the numbers.

Sep 2, 2005 Not sure why they call this a pale ale when it is really a mild.Slightly malty but very thin with not much taste.

Aug 27, 2004 Dark beer with a gentle head, the aroma is sour and btter, and the flavour is fizzy and watery with a slight hint of coffee. Overall a good Scottish beer.

Aug 16, 2004 Dark brown with a bubbly head. Aromas are sweet, sour and earthy. Flavours are fruity malts with sulphur. Some fruit sourness, too. A bit thin, but then it is 2.9%. OK for a festival starter.

Jan 11, 2004 Quite sweet aroma. Watery texture. Nothing special about it. Slightly malty.

Dec 29, 2003 Soft and smoky Scotch pint with hints of buckwheat porridge in its greatly balanced palate. One of the better low alcohols.

Sep 17, 2002 A dark sweet bitter with the familiar ’rusty nails’ bite of scottish beers. The aroma has a warming baked apples and brown sugar feel and the spicey hop character has cinnamon, nutmeg and raisins. The beer is decidely complex and lip-smackingly moreish. Definitely suitable as a Christmas beer and much more warming and satisfying that the low ABV would suggest.
All of the above, but very thin - more like Irn Bru than a real beer. On offerings like this one wonders how the brewery has survived so long to remain Scotland’s oldest brewer. Rating 3
