650mL bottle, pours a dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma of light brown sugar, some slight whiskey malts, and caramel malts. Flavour is fairly light, with some slightly sweet caramel malts, some light whiskey malts, and some metallic notes. Fairly light-bodied for a scotch ale, with an inoffensive flavour profile. Decent stuff, but pretty weak.

500ml bottle brought back from Asheville. Opaque, unfiltered deep orange brown. Big, fluffy off white head. A pretty straightforward Rye beer, quite refreshing and well executed. Caramel, rye, nutty amber malt backbone and a pretty steady hop balance. Sort of like a cleaner, more subdued Sierra Ruthless Rye. Smooth, thick malt character. Quite pleasant, an Asheville flashback beer for me.
