Tap at brewery. Mild earthy malt aroma. Clear chestnut with a moderate creamy tan head, creamy lacing. Smooth earthy caramel malt flavor. Medium creamy body, low carbonation. Nice easy drinking malty beer, but not what I typically expect from a scottish ale. I was expecting something with a far more robust flavor, and this reminded me more of an ESB.

Pours a clear amber toward light brown with a toffee colored head. Nose involves some fruity hop notes, dusty caramel and toffee, almost a cherry or raspberry note and some nuttiness. Flavor is well balanced, some sweet and some bitter but not too much of either. Lighter bodied, smooth, softer carb. Nice beer, the fruity elements add a twist to the style. Solid session ale.
