Brewed by the Inveralmond Brewery, Perth, Scotland, bought by Stephen and drunk at Nicola and Stephen's home in Bathgate, Scotland with a lunch of a steak pastry from Greggs and chips from Mackie's of Inchture, Pertshire, Scotland.

The web site says "Lia Fail 4.7%, Lia Fail is Gaelic for "Stone of Destiny", upon which the kings of Scotland were crowned. In 1296, against the wishes of the Scots, the Stone was taken by Edward I to England. Rightfully returned in 1996, it can be found in Edinburgh Castle, although many believe the stone never left Scotland, and that the real Lia Fail is in a secret hiding place somewhere in Scotland.
Available throughout the year, Lia Fail is a dark, robust, full bodied beer with a deep malty taste, smooth texture and a hoppy aroma. The beer is rich with a well balanced and satisfying sweetness with chocolate notes. Truly a beer fit for a King's coronation."
A very nice beer, chestnut brown in the glass and a very pleasant taste that made the steak pie taste even bettr.
