500 ml bottle, thanks to my beerpal Olav who brought it home from the Orkneys. ABV is 4.5%. Deep golden to amber colour, moderate white head, decent lacing. Moderate but nice aroma with fruity and malty notes, hints of nuts and toffee. Moderately malty and nutty flavour with "dusty" English hops throughout. Okay, but not remarkable.

This beer comes from the Orkneys and was sampled on cask at the Abbotsford in Edinburgh.
Poured a dark brown almost black with hints of red at the bottom of the glass.
The smell was mostly malts very pleasant.
The taste was like the smell malty, earthy, with some roasted malts and some bitter hops.
This was on cask so very smooth no carbonation with a pretty heavy mouth feel to it.
Overall a decent enough beer but I don't feel the need to have another.
