Commercial Description:
Bottle; Pasteurised.
Medium-bodied, with a subtle hop aroma, on the palate this luxurious beer has a deep, full flavour which balances a toasty maltiness, mild bitterness, and a hint of sweet herbs. It finishes clean and mostly dry, but with a faintly subtle sweetness.

Pruney malt aroma. Medium dark, sweet fruity flavor. A longish nut-bitter finish. Sturdy, but not too dense. Very enjoyable.

Rather enjoyed this one. Dark, ruby red appearance with a thin mocha colored head. Delectable aroma of raisins, molasses, and candied fruit. Chewy flavor, has some roasted notes in the background with sweet malt accents up front. Cherries, chocolate and bit of citrusy bitterness to it. Palate could be a bit thicker, but not complaining - still a damn good Scottish Ale.

Really liked this. Deep copper with a beige head. Nose had hints of caramel, molasses, cirtus. Good, full mouthfeel. Flavor was a great blend of tart and sweet and roasty. Very much enjoyed downing the whole bottle.

Deep ruby brown. Small light tan head. Sweet nose of caramel, milky, faint grapefruit. Molasses, caramel, robust, buttery, strong medium body, very great mouthfeel. Faint herbal notes, light toastiness, with subtle hops and a dry finish. Very nice.

Cloudy, reddish brown appearance. Striking, earthy aroma with hints of caramel malts and dry fruit. Well carbonated mouthfeel with a malty flavor. Smooth, dry finish.

Dark amber with a thin head. Nose is malty with caramel notes. Taste is roasted malt and a bit metallic. A bit thin bodied but not bad.

Dark murky brown color with a little head and moderate lacing. The aroma is faint but with notes of fig and caramel, slightly toasty. The flavor is moderately malty with a sweet mouthfeel. Standard scottish ale, nothing too outstanding.
