Nutty caramel malt and fresh hay aroma. Dark amber with small head. Lightly sweet nutty caramel malt, and mildly bitter hay flavor. Okay body.

12 ounce bottle from the brewery, 5/29/19. Clear copper, thin foamy tan head, good retention. Aroma of toffee, toast. Mild stone fruit. Taste is toasted malt, caramel, stone fruit, a bit of a tinny note. Medium bodied. Okay.

Got in a trade with GreenBayBA. 12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 2/28/2018. Pours slightly hazy medium orange/amber/light copper color with a 1 finger dense cream colored head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of caramel, brown sugar, brown bread dough, toasted biscuit, and nuttiness; with lighter notes of toffee, roast, plum, pear, red apple, herbal, floral, grass, pepper, and yeast earthiness. A bit too fruity/yeasty aromas, but not overwhelming. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/bready/light roasted malts, light-moderate fruity yeast, and light earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of caramel, brown sugar, brown bread dough, toasted biscuit, and nuttiness; with lighter notes of toffee, roast, plum, pear, red apple, herbal, floral, grass, pepper, and yeast earthiness. Light herbal, floral, grassy, peppery hop; and roasted bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of caramel, brown sugar, brown bread dough, toasted biscuit, nuttiness, toffee, roast, herbal, floral, grass, pepper, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/bready/light roasted malts and light fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering hop/roasted bitterness. Light-medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy, and lightly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is good. A bit thin, but not watery. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.7%. Overall this is a very good Scottish ale. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/bready/light roasted malts and light fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; very smooth, easy, and pretty refreshing to drink with the lightly bitter/drying finish. Very flavorful for the ABV. Very clean and nicely rich malt complexity; restrained fruity yeast and balancing earthy hops. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example. Very minimal flaws.

Tap. Pours clear orange, small off white head, decent lacing. Aroma is grains, caramel, floral with a note of smoke. Flavor is medium sweet, very light bitter, grainy more than malty. Medium body.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear deep amber orange with a tan head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma is full of malts with notes of bread, straw and hay with a hint of light fruits. Flavor starts with sweet grains and hay with not much else. A bit lacking.

12 oz. bottle purchased at the brewery - hazy copper beer, with a minimal head - reeks of diacetyl (butterscotch pudding, to be exact) with some doughy malt underneath - a little tart up front, then the expected diacetyl shows up, followed by some odd flavors of vanilla ice cream and tea biscuits - a little herbal bitterness at the end, and lingering cookie dough flavor - really odd.
