Nov 6, 2005 33 cl bottle. Beautiful ruby tinted brown beer with a thin white head. Sweet malty aroma with a light earthy and herbal layer of UK hops underneath. Caramel, buscuity malt, creamy body. Lingering earthy hops and a slight dusty flavour. Light anise flavour as the beer warms. Bready malt finish. Light peppery alcohol adds some complexity ot the earthy hop finish.

Nov 6, 2005 Had this in belgium of al places. Aroma is rich and spicey with dark fruits having a play. Taste is similar though too spicey for me. Im a bit disapointed here as i would like to really like these beers since they are from scotland however they just arnt my thing.

Nov 5, 2005 A deep nutty brown colour bordering on opaque. Pours thicker than a 6% beer should and it was a fight to get a whisp of head. Molassesy aroma shows faint wood, burnt cherries and sweet, lush malts. The molasses notes, sometimes leaning towards buckwheat honey, meld with a hint of chocolate and cherries. There’s an añejo rum character backing this up. Apparent alcohol, again stronger than 6% would indicate, provides a brawny backdrop and balances out the rich blackstrap malts.
The body is lighter than you’d expect from such a richly malty beer. This despite very low carbonation. Surely this is a classic Old Ale, in the vein of Old Peculiar but taking a cleaner, maltier (ie. Scottish) tack. For its richness, it’s surprisingly laid back. Perhaps too much so, as the flavours are great but not particularly assertive. I think it’s a mind trick - a beer this rich and you want it to be huge. So it feels thin when it’s not. Another solid effort from a great brewery.

Oct 16, 2005 Bottled at LC-RBM. Vanilla and melon aroma. Redish brown, off-white head, good lace. In the flavor again melon, sweet, raisin, light bitter. Simple but very nice.
