Bottle: Pasteurised.
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.

The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. A bit darker than exspected, creamy head. Starts malty and dry, almost like a dunkel. But also hoppy-flowery notes, also some caramell. Finish malty and dry, a bit woody. Really interesting beer!

500 mL Bottle. Amber body with an off-white frothy head that settles to a tenacious layer leaving good lace. Aroma of sweet malts, crystal malt, resinous hops, and wildflowers. Full malt flavor, hints of treacle and toffee in the aftertaste, and a clean finish. Very smooth mouth feel. A fine brew, Scotland!

The beer is not bad, but they are only a group of thieves. I’m sorry but I’m forced to make this rate.

Bottle at parent’s house. Medium brown, with a hint of red. Nice beer, although I guess some would say normal.

50 cl bottle, Mulmur, ON, Canada. Deep amber colour, frothy lacy head. Bread hay and pepper on the nose, sharp but pleasant first sip, fades to sweet but balanced caramel with some yeastiness.

Bootle. Clear golden with a huge foamy off white head showing good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma is very earthy with nuts, toasted malt and hops. Flavor is earthy, slightly hoppy with a toasted malt background and some tobacco. Medium body, average carbonation.

Bottle from the LCBO. Nice copper colour with a big and creamy white head. Sweet, malty aroma with hints of toasted nuts and musty pear. Soft bodied, a bit creamy, very moreish. Tasty and well-balanced flavour - malt, toasted grain, earthy hops, dryish finish. A very flavourful and very drinkable bitter.

Pours a clear amber with a moderate tan head. Aroma is malty, grainy with a bit of mustiness. Taste is a bit bitter, but not overpowering. Moderate to heavy carbonation leads to a clean finish. Overall pretty good.

Big rum and Coke nose, some citrus notes. Cloudy reddish brow, small soapy head. Salt water taffy sweetness, spicy bitterness. Big carbonation, medium body, full mouth feel, finishes unfortunately like a cola flavored “malt beverage” alcopop. Everything indicated that this would be an interesting beer, but once ingested in went downhill.
