St. Giles pours dark brown with an off-white head. The nose is a combination of traditional Scottish malt and American Cascade hops.The taste is full-bodied, ruch and smooth with coffee and chocolate flavours. Brewed with the intention of adding a slight twist to the Scotch Ale style and named after one of Edinburgh most famous landmarks, St.Giles Cathedral.
