Can from the LCBO. Clear dark copper with a small quick fading cream coloured head. Nose is caramel, nuts, grass, raisins and some lavender. Medium- caramel sweetness with a light+ grassy bitterness. Mouth is medium- with soft carbonation. Decent Scoth ale. 7+/3/7/3/14

This scotch ale poured a medium amber colour with a creamy light tan coloured head. Nice lacing. Scents include caramel, candy, spice and hops. First swig was quite creamy with flavours of rich malts, cereal and a little dough. Finish is strong and medium sweet with rich maltiness lingering forever.

Pours a clean amber colour with bigger bubbles than usual. The head is nice with some creaminess, foaminess, decent retention and creamy lacing. Aromas of rusty water, then yeast and some mild dark fruits (raisins, plums). The taste is even worst, so not balanced. Seems like the hops used here are not the proper ones, adding some bad grass notes over the caramel malts and hints of nuts. Not super horrible, but not something I would have again. Not a great first experience from this brewery. Nice label though.
