500ml bottle from Hop Shop at Westhill Service Station, Aberdeen - Clear pale yellow body with a firm white head. Sweet clean citrus flavours, really refreshing crisp lager.

500ml bottle. Almost black pour with a massive tan head, looking ideal when it finally settles, took around 10 mins to fully pour. Aroma of chocolate and roast malt, hint of dark fruits, all a bit muted. Taste of dark malts, chocolate, quite roasty and ash, mild liquorice or dark fruit, bitter finish. Body is very thin, watery, and it feels very airy, gassy. This needs work, too weak. I've had AF stouts with more body and flavour than this.

500ml bottle, explosive opening making a mess everywhere. Thankfully the beer seemed to be fine.
Pours a slightly unclear amber with a huge off-white head. Aroma is resinous, pine, grass, marmalade. Taste is again predominantly resinous, with citrus, orange, grapefruit, marmalade, biscuity malt base, bitter finish. Medium bodied.
A rocky but pleasant enough start for this new brewery.

Bottle from Westhill Service Station. It pours darkest brown to black with a decent khaki head. The aroma is rich roasted malt, slightly charred, quite chocolatey, praline, mocha coffee and rocky road. The taste is bitter, dark roasted malt, dull acidity, plenty of coffee, cacao nibs, cola and Dr Pepper with a dry, toasty finish. Average body and carbonation. Not a much depth, but very drinkable stuff.

The taste is dry upfront, touch green/weedy, light herbal bitterness, smooth malts, floury bread, tropical fruits and citrus and pithy rind with a dry finish.
