On cask at 'spoons in helensburgh. Chestnut colour (probably: poor lighting) with white head; caramel and toffee nose;Peat smoky taste with some caramel, reminding me a bit of Islay whiskies. Some spicy hops here. Good stuff.

Sampled recently at the Ullapool beer festival, this was the local brewery of the festival.
The beer poured a dark amber colour with a white head, this gave reasonable retention but I would expect slightly more from a cask ale.
The nose was very pleasant, dominated by bitter hops with a strong note of citrus fruits.
The bitter theme continued through to the taste, this was slightly weak initially but improves. The hops again make way for fruit, with the style changing from citrus to berries, however the overall flavours were not strong enough and left the drinker feeling slightly disappointed with the weak flavours.
There was not even the slightest hint of malts in this beer at all; unusual given it is one of the most northern breweries in Britain.
The mouthfeel was average, light for a Scottish ale. That along with the lack of malts present led me to mark this as an English bitter rather than a Scottish ale in description. Worth a taste, but I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to look for it.
