Having a bottle on 3/4/20 bought at retail. A very good offering of a very good style. A lot of malt.

Just a touch of molasses-y sweetness to this heartily malty and balanced beer

This is a solid choice from this area of the world. If you are visiting Orkney, stop in a place and grab this. You won't regret this nutty, slightly chocolately brew.
