This has become my regular drink since moving to Stornoway 2 1/2 years ago. I like the slightly bitter tang followed by the roasted malts and caramel into the aftertaste. Although this is not to everybody’s taste I love it. However be warned: this does go like vinegar if it is stored in the fridge it changes the taste completely, like vinegar with a aftertaste of berries; not nice cold.

Apr 12, 2008 Cask at Blackfriars. A slightly hazy amber beer with a thin lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with primary notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel and bread, leading to a slightly bitter finish.

Apr 11, 2008 Bottled. Pound to a penny I bought this from the same place as hughie. He could have written my words for me. Infected for sure. Vinegary, and I like the aspirin analogy. Mine is probably less muddy but certainly not nice to drink. Couldn’t finish it.

Mar 27, 2008 Murky orange-brown. Frankly this beer looks awful. It’s rare for me to give a 2 for appearance. I don’t have a word in my vocabulary to describe the aroma, though it’s one I’ve noticed in several beers. Perhaps aspirin soaked in vinegar? Quite a lot of sourness in the taste, though it’s slightly better than what has gone before. And some marmite, I think. A little bitterness of the aspirin variety to follow.
