Scopey Profile - Brewver

Can from Westhill Service Station (a guess). It pours jet black with a a dark brown head. The aroma is rich and smokey, charred oak, peat reek, medicinal Islay whisky, bonfire, ash, smoked meats, cacao nibs, dark chocolate and plenty of umami. The taste is dry, dark roasted malt, charred oak, bitter - sweet, dark chocolate, cacao nibs, coffee, more restrained smokey character (than on the nose), distant bonfire embers, smoked ham, slightly medicinal, umami, liquorice and a puff of pipe tobacco with a drying, roasty finale. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Smokey is more contained on the taste. Lovely depth of flavours and unique character. Very well done.

6.5/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5

25cl bottle from Good Spirits Co, Glasgow. It pours hazy bright golden - yellow with a decent white cap. The aroma is toasty grains, cereal, warming spice, ginger beer, baked goods, nougat, tangy lemony citrus and melon. The taste is crisp, dry, snappy, some firm grassy bitterness, leafy, fragrant, herbal, spicy, floral, straw, soda water with lemon and a touch of estery fruits. Finish is lingering bitterness and dryness. Maybe a touch too light for my liking. Not bad for what it is.

Can from Raynville Superstore. It pours clear brown with a decent white head. The aroma is earthy, woody, brown bread, bitter - sweet character, touch of vola, dried fruits, toasted grains and fruit cake. The taste is firm, dry, bitter - sweet, toasty grains, brown bread, ryvita, wood, leather, hint of cacao nibs/coffee beans and toasty spice with a drying finish. Average body and moderate carbonation. Tastes a lot like an ESB, or somewhere between there and an alt bier. Drinks well. Not a huge amount of depth to it, but it is well rounded.

Can from Aldi Inverurie. It pours clear pale yellow with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, fragrant, zingy, tangy lemon - lime, sherbet and some white bread. The taste is crisp, dry, snappy, quite light, toasty grains, pithy, zesty, lime peel, waxy peel, grass abs some peppery spice. Finish is zesty. Light body and average carbonation. Nice idea, but feels a bit thin and perhaps weak.
