Scopey Profile - Brewver

Can picked up at Dogtap, Ellon. It pours hazy luminous golden - yellow with a decent fluffy white head. The aroma is super saturated, green, weedy, sticky, dank, damp herbals, bubbling bong, melon, white grape, greengage, mango and orange blossom. The taste is firm and dry, decent hit of bitterness which lingers, green, weedy, dank, bong rips, herbal, kinda spicy, dry oak, pithy, zesty, bitter citrus peel, mango, greengage, melon and a snap of booze with a drying, bitter linger. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Best BD IPA in ages. Punchy and flavorful. An import moment to reflect on the brewery.

5.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 6 Overall 6

Bottle from Oban Beer Seller. It pours slightly hazy yellow with a fluffy white cap. The aroma is bright slightly unripe banana, banana split, warming spice, in particular clove, cola cubs, touch of orange marmalade, wheat bread and some toasty grains. The taste is initially dry, some tart citrus peel, dissipates thankfully (will it develop into something more?), orange, green banana, bitter - sweet, some banana split, peppery, clove rock and some powdery vibes. Dry and zingy finish. Average body and moderate carbonation. More sourness that you would expect. Drinks fine for now....

5.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 5.5 Texture 6 Overall 6

Crowler from Dogtap Ellon. It pours clear yellow - gold with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is perfumed, zesty, zingy, lemon - lime, lime peel, slightly floral and damp grain. The taste is neither bitter nor sweet really, zingy, zesty, lime peel, lemon balm, mild citric acidity, perfumed florals, quite heavy feeling with toasty grains and bread. Finish is zesty dot come. Fulsome body and moderate carbonation. Body is heavier than I had expected, detracting from it's drinkability to be honest. Ok.

Can from Oban Beer Seller. It pours dark brown to black with a decent beige head.

The taste is firmly dry, bitter, charred, burnt toast, umami, liquorice, ashy, dark chocolate, cacao nibs, espresso coffee, light acidity, cracked black pepper and tar with a bitter, dark roasted finish. Medium body and average carbonation. Inspected.a bit more support from the nitro carbonation, maybe the keg version would.be better. Decent, if a touch too charred and ashy.
