Taster at brewpub. Mahogany colored pour, ring of fine off-white head. Malty aroma, sweet. Taste is malty, earthy sweet, peat, tobacco. A bit too sweet.

A - Clear dark amber with nice lacing. 4.0
S - Malty but not strong. 3.5
T - Not malty enough and a bit too much hops 3.75
MF - Smooth with a finishing bite of dryness. Not chewy enough. 3.5
O - An enjoyable non-IPA alternative. I would definitely drink this again, but when rated to style this beer does not score well. Probably served too cold because this beer gets better as it warms. 3.5

I'm not usually a fan of scottish ales, but this one is more grain and malt centric. A very light roasted depth brings out some more complexity of flavour, but it remains a very simple, approachable, perfectly balanced ale for everyday enjoyment.

I had this on-tap at the brew pub. Served in a sample glass.
Appearance: The beer pours a cloudy amber color with just a little off white head on top of the pour. The head fades to a thin ring.
Smell: This beer has a very light smell to it. I'm getting some mild fruit and a caramel note.
Taste: This is a very malty beer, but it's not particularly sweet. I'm getting some fruity notes with caramel malt that is quite bready. The finish is lightly bitter with some dark fruit.
Mouthfeel: The body is medium with tingles of carbonation and a dry finish.
Overall: This is a very nice sessionable ale, but there is a ton of taste. I'd be happy to have more in the future.
