Review and Tasting
Sampled on 20/09/2018
Appearance:
Opaque, deep mahogany brown. Thick creamy tan head with good retention and thick lines of lacing.
Aroma:
Pungent fruity bready malt, caramel and light smokiness with chocolate and pine.
Taste:
Full-bodied. Sweet caramel maltiness balances hop bitterness, dry pine and stewed tea-like tannins with appealing smokiness, chocolate, coffee and dried fruits.
Aftertaste:
Chocolate, coffee and caramel with good hop bitterness.
Overall:
Rich but balanced with sweet caramel malt, appealing smoky note, chocolate, coffee and dried fruits. It might not be from Scotland but it's a fair representation of a wee heavy.
