Bottle, Tesco, Helensburgh. Poured a very deep dark brown with a tan head Aroma of roasty malt, nuts, hop, cinnamon, fig. Flavour was nutty, dark chocolate and malty with a great toasty coffee, and brown sugar finish. Really well balanced. Not quite up to the cask version but still good.

Oct 1, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. Imagine standing infront of a grill and eating a hunk of smoked ham. That’s this beer in a nutshell. A little watery, reminds me of NG Smoke on the Porter.

Sep 21, 2008 Bottle. Very dark brown with light brown thin head. Quite mild tasting, thin bodied, needs a little more substance. Slight dark chocolate with a little smoke in the finish. Far from offensive but just didn’t really kick me in the tastebuds. Or get me hoover the lawn drunk.

Sep 7, 2008 Bottle in Miami. Dark brown. Light head. Rich aroma with brown sugar, peat and smoked malt. Tasty flavour aspromised by the aroma. Burnt sugar sweetness. Peat and smoked malt with Scottish spice. Very nice.
