3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Yellow clear. Herb/earthy hops, a bit of sweet pale malts and a peatyness that feels more oaky than smoky. Body is a tad oily, has some peat, hops, pale malts. A bit of whiskey- like notes in finish. Ok, not boring.

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
0.33 l bottle from Alko. Copper color. Sweet aromas of honey, pepper, pine resins, nuts and hint of orange. Sweetish honeyish and nutty flavor with restrained peppery, resiny and slightly citrusy hoppiness. Delicate crisp bitterness. Hint of earthy peat in finish, barely above flavor threshold. Light bodied, crisp and refreshing. Nice delicate and easygoing pale ale.

33 cl bottle.
Pours clear golden color with a large frothy head. Aroma of malts, faint hops and caramel. Some distant buttery notes as well. Flavor of caramel malts, mild fruity notes with some hay. Slick palate, sweetish malty finish. Not as bitter as I expected, soft carbonation. Decent but nothing special.

2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
33 cl bottle @ home, BBE
Aroma has grainy malt, honey, some grassy notes and slight smoke aromas – feels like a pale lager. Flavour has smoke, some woody notes, ash, peat, toffee and grain. Finishes with slight bun dough -like yeasty notes. Reminds me of some mildly smoked German lagers. Not worthy.
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
330 ml bottle. L2702. BB Aug/2014. (Alko) Espoo, Finland.
Clear deep golden colour with a tiny white head.
Biscuit and caramel malt with some mild herbal notes in the aroma.
The flavour is smoke, malt, mild herbal touch and mild dryness. Rather easy to forget. Probably the 40th best Scottish beer for me.
How wrong can I be? Out of 204 Scottish beers I’ve tasted this was #175. I somehow forgot that BrewDog is Scottish...
