good to drink a beverage brewed on a Scottish Isle. Heys to the Hebrides. Peaty and smoky. hoppy but not bitter. full but not heavy. almost crisp.

Bottled at RBESG 2007. An amber beer with specks of sediment floating around under a thin beige head. The aroma is acidic with notes of caramel and straw. The flavor is acidic and dominated by caramel. The body is thin.

<i> <b> Bottle, many thanbks to Craig for this one cheers mate!, had this 02-02-08 </i> </b> Poured amber some haze, very little head. Aroma a bit malty and also some smokiness. Tasted really quite smoky with good bitterness and then a flurry of sweet malts drop in at the end. The smokiness is always there on the first sip and I was quite pleased to see that I’d noted that before even reading the description on the back of the bottle. This isn’t bad but a 568ml bottle is a bit too much as a half would have sufficed for me tonight. Just looking back at some of the rates, I reckon I’ve got a good bottle of this :-)

rbesg07, bottled. dull shade of copper, minimal head, aroma of peanut skin and hospital, pretty scary - some disinfectant, raw sugar and a hint of citric tartness. pretty abysmal

Bottle at home ... copper colour ... tart fruit malt nose ... malt witha little tart bitterness that im not sure should be there.
