A full-bodied and malty ale with a rounded, smooth fruit palate and a tight, creamy head that laces all the way down the glass. Rich in colour with a smooth, creamy texture and a distinctively strong flavour.

500ml bottle from Peckhams, Glasgow. Copper, lasting beige head. Yeast, malt, hop aroma. NIce mix of the four main ingredients. Very drinkable, some caramel, some candy sugar. Decent white peppery hop. Fine. I seem to remember liking this on cask.

500ml bottle. Golen with a creamy head; sweet apple aroma; grainy to start, silky smooth mouth feel; strong bitter finish.

Interesting. Pours clear with a deep amber color. There is a lot of sediment floating around. Minimal head with some lacing sticking to the side of the glass as it retreats. The nose is slightly sweet . The flavor is outstanding. Numerous layers on top of each other revealing themselves over time. It starts smooth and sweet and then you get a heartier edge. It never deviates from it’s path . Mouthfeel is smooth and sweet and the drinkability is high. If this is typical of Scottish Ales, then I am definitely keen to taste others.

Very rich smoked malt character like their scottish ale. Creamy and hearty bread palate with a earthy hop finish. Slightly more bitter then their scottish ale, but the malts still dominate. I really enjoy the smokey character of these beers. Honey and caramel malt flavors stand out. This beer really pairs well with any meat meal.

Pleasant malty aroma. Some caramel in the flavor with just a hint of tartness. Bitterness is clearly present but is not as dominant as expected. There is some zing in the mouth. This might be my favorite bitter to date.
