Exceptional Dark Scottish Ale for any occasion, mildly chocolate and date fruity. Enjoyed in a bottle from Post Office store in Findhorn, Moray, Scotland the land of my ancestors! Slàinte Mhath

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.

Dark. No bitterness. Slight chocolate tones. No creaminess.
