Draft pour pint at Special Brews. A decent way to start what is surly to be a busy beer day. Pours a dark but clean brown color with a thin fizz head. A bitter ale, or Scottish ale, either way, it’s unique and interesting. A soft, dusty, earthy malt aroma. Cool, nutty, dusty malt constant. Malt leaves it a little dry, and makes this a very quick drink. Soft spice, nutty late reminder. Pretty good.

I like the balance on this one...light body, really nice malt profile, super drinkable and just enough complexity from yeasty esters. Look forward to trying more.

Bottle at Drayton Harbor Oyster Company, pours a dark copper with a tiny white head. Aroma brings out notes of copper, dry toffee and bready notes. Flavour is mellow, with bready notes, toffee and some metallic qualities. Low carbonation, clean and easy to drink, but not overly pleasing. Solid.
