Reviewed from notes.
Can to thistle.
Appearance: dark brown in the glass with a two finger white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: apple cider - tart and sweet tones and donuts in the front with a caramel/toffee base in the background
Flavor: moderately sweet through the prior noted aromas; finishes like apple cider donuts
Texture: medium bodied with being somewhat of a sipper, eh maybe this could be sessionable as well, let's just say somewhere in between. Fairly smooth along the tongue.
Overall: not a bad beer, maybe somewhat gimmicky but also I see a brewery call something like this a Scotch ale and I'm looking for the peaty notes which weren't really there. Probably a one and done for me.
