20oz pint at the Underground's tap takeover for this brewery, in its early hours. Not sure as to the meaning of this offering's name, but I'd be cool with anything Highlander-related.
This beer appears a murky, very dark rustic brown colour, with pervasive cherry cola highlights, and a thin cap of wispy, faintly foamy, and bubbly beige head, which leaves but a few remote specks of islet lace around the glass as it quickly evaporates.
It smells of biscuity, grainy caramel malt, a bit of generic dark orchard fruit, bar-top oily nuts, a strange metallic spiciness, and plain plain earthy, leafy hops. The taste is gritty, semi-sweet caramel malt, a further crackery breadiness, some middling nutty notes, red licorice ropes, still mixed black fleshy fruit, and more understated earthy , weedy, and leafy hop bitterness.
The bubbles are pretty sedate in their barely perceptible frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and mostly smooth, neither the hops nor implied nuts having much to say here. It finishes trending sweet, the nutty caramel malt showing more staying power than any hops.
The second brew in a row from this brewery with the 'India Ale' designation, where the hops just don't stand up to even gentle scrutiny. That said, a bang-up job is done here with the 7 points of alcohol - hardly a squeak is detectable on that front. Otherwise, a serviceable brown ale, and not much more.
