Strong spicy aroma has licourice and alcohol. Flavor is so rich with a bit sweetness, soft maltyness and quite bittery end. I like the saltyness very much. Body is nice and full. Maybe my favourite beer so far. daleharshman (203), San Diego, California, USA

Aroma is very odd and very different from any beer I’ve ever had. Fuzzy peaches, flowers, molasses, jube-jubes, spices, perfume, and alcohol. Very nice on the nose. Fuzzy peaches, licorice, jube0jubes, apples, cloves, cinnamon, flowers. Decent palate. Very good! neepsntatties (350), Portland, Oregon, USA

Nose... spice, molasses, turbinado and treacle sirup. Palate... a quick froth of C02 followed by slightly tangy burnt sugar, dark brown sugar, Christmas cake, sailor jack, dark raisins, golden sirup, and a long finish with hints of coriander! Here’s to Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Stewarts, Frasers, Farquharsons, Camerons, Macintoshes and Macdonalds who fought with him on that fateful day at Culloden in 1746!!
