Bear bread?

We provide food for clients who travel a long way to our offices. In this case, one client from Scotland only wants a cuppa and 'buttered slices of bear bread'.
Our usual caterer hasn't heard of it, so we Googled 'bear bread' but haven't any luck.
The client was quite irritated when a colleague rang back and asked if he meant 'beer bread', so we couldn't ask him any more questions. For what it's worth, he is in his mid-70s, and born and raised in the southern area of Sutherland in Scotland. Perhaps those details offer some clues?
Suggestions on what 'bear bread' might be, please? Thanks.

Seems a rather obscure request though! Maybe he meant 'bare bread' as in 'just plain old bread with nothing on it'? I don't know. It's a bit odd!
Someone in the building immediately recognised 'bear bread' - it's actually bere bread, a lesser-known loaf version of bere bannocks.
Huh. Things we learn every day. Thanks for the help, anyhow.
could it be this ?
What a miserable old git, at least you figured it out, not that he deserves it.
