Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular.
Barochan is smooth and ruby coloured with a touch of roasted barley, rounded with a lingering maltiness and a clean finish. The Barochan Cross once sat proudly on the crest of one of Houston's countryside hills, but it was removed fairly recently and placed in Paisley Abbey for it's preservation and for the delight of visitors to the Abbey.

I brought this one back from Scotland 05. It’s a beautifull mahogany red beer with a large head with rather large bubbles and a flat mouth feel. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, caramel and aroma hops, just like the flavour, where I also find fruit and a bit of smoke. The finish is nice and bitter in this nice ale.

Cask conditioned - handpump - Out Of The Vaults Leicester. A mahogony coloured beer with an off white head. Lovely aroma of coffee, nuts and brown rich fruits. Nice malty taste with more coffee flavours. Very Scottish in its low hopping, but very tasty.

Bottle. Nose is malt, honey and dirty socks. Pours ruby with a tan head and some lace. Flavour is malty and a bit earthy with a long bitter finish, and a smooth but slightly watery mouthfeel. One to hold out for on draft I reckon.
