One of my favourite beers.

Smooth and strong
Very smooth, complex and delicious. So easy drinking, especially for the high strength.

Skull Splitter
This beer is in my family line,Thorfimn the Skull Splitter is folklore in our extended family. I first had this about 20 years ago after finding out about it. I visited the Orkney Brewery last year to pay homage. I used to be able to buy it here in Perth,anyway, it's strong, meaty and kicks butt,but smooth for its percentage,love it.

Don't be fooled, deceptively strong
Impressive in smaller doses. Lighter of colour and taste than most in the scotch ale range. It's stronger than it tastes.
5
Not for the faint of heart.
....And definitely not a session beer. This is a special beer to be savoured the way it is brewed, in small batches. Very easy to drink as it does not taste like a very high strength beer.
