This beer turned out very well. Definate Scottish character, malty, with just a hint of smoke coming through. Not sure what I would change to improve it.

At only 2 weeks in the bottle, this beer turned out quite good. Scottish character, malty, with a hint of smoke. Perhaps a little hoppier than many commercial Scottish Exports, but still balanced.
