CC growler. Pours a dark red color with some brownness, a medium white head. The aroma is sweet herbs and fruity malts. The flavor is a very smooth and quaffable Scottish Ale; sweet dusty malts, berries, lemons, very nice. An easy going brew.

Nice hoppy Scottish. Good peaty aromas. Body is brownish to amber coloured with little head and a lace sheet. Smooth mouthfeel. Good hops that kicked up the taste and drinkability.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Poured up on tap at the CCB tasting room with clear amber body and copper hues as well as a thin white head. The aroma offers up dark fruity esters, some earthiness and roasted malts. The taste is a bit bright with hints of yeasty spice and dark fruity esters rolling into roasted malts, chocolate malts and a nice sense of earthiness. This comes together very well and with a refreshing quality too.

2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
You could have slapped a Brewdog label on this and I wouldn’t have questioned it. Not a fan of this, wispy, better left outside of my mouth.

Tap at Cigar City. Pours a reddish brown with a thin off white head. Musty hops, malt and toffee peaking through in the nose. Taste is malty, slightly bready and nutty. Not as complex as some other brews, a decent session beer.

Tap @ CCB: Dark amber, malty with some light caramel. Decent scottish ale, thin body and a vague mouthfeel. Even the nose is a bit lacking in malts.
