Description
Scotland has a deeply fascinating history when it comes to brewing and we wanted to pay homage to these roots when creating our name. Calton Hill Brewery in Edinburgh was the first brewery in Britain to create lager way back in 1835. The small suburb that the brewery called it’s home earned the name Cauld Toon as it sat directly in the in the cold shadow of Arthur’s Seat. Over time, this colloquially became Cal-ton. Carlton Hill could therefore be known as Cold Town Hill, and suddenly our name was born.

Can from Westhill Service Station. It pours near black with long - lasting light brown head. The aroma is rich, darkly roasted malt, charred, umami, pleasing smoke, bonfire, dark chocolate and rocky road. The taste is dry, dark roasted malt, smooth, bitter - sweet, charred, nice level of smoked malts, bonfire, umami, liquorice, burnt toast and dark chocolate with a toasty finish. Lighter end of medium body and soft, fluffy carbonation. Pretty nice offering. I could easily drink a few pints. Strikes a good balance.

Can #0027 from Westhill Service Station. It pours opaque jet black with a quickly dissipating brown head. The aroma is dark roasted malt, oily, unctuous, whisky fudge, touch of vanilla, toasted coconut, bounty bar, dark chocolate, cacao nibs, slightly charred, tobacco, dried fruits, raisin, sultana and toasted fruit cake. The taste is dark roasted malt, slick, oily, bitter - sweet, plenty of chocolate, gateaux, vanilla, toasted coconut, dark chocolate bounty bar, whisky fudge, floral whisky, rocky road, toffee crisp, honeycomb crunch and a touch of alcohol warmth with a roasty finish. Medium - fullsome body, average carbonation and velvety mouth feel. Pretty decent stuff.

Can from Beer52 as 'Cold Hazy Beer' @ 5%. Semi-hazy deep gold with with big white foamy top which settles to a decent cover. Overripe tropical and stone fruit with a slight fusty grain and some dryness. Soft mouthfeel and low slight frothy carbonation. It's one of those stewed fruity hop NEIPA's and lacks a freshness but you get what you pay for I guess. Its nice enough.

Can from LCB, still 8 months in date. Pours a semi hazed yellow-gold with small white head. Aroma is very much on the lemon citric side with melon and a background earthiness. Taste of lemon, sweet tinned mixed fruit, moderate bitter herbal edge in the finish. Light to medium bodied, easy drinking. Simple but very sessionable. Enjoyed it.
