Beer Spotlight – Midnight Sun

DRINK, , , ,

Brewer Williams Brothers
Another Williams Brothers classic and an instant classic: This spiced porter, pours as black as the Midnight Sun and is created from a blend of malted barley, oats, roast barley, chocolate malt then balanced with a generous helping of hops. An after bite of fresh root ginger elevates this ale to another level. The flavours are as paradoxical as the name.

Beer Spotlight Scottish Session

DRINK, , , ,

Brewed by Williams Brothers
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
Alloa, Clackmannanshire, Scotland
ABV: 3.9%
COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Golden Ale is a popular style of pub ale, drunk as refreshment whilst blethering to pals or singing along in the pub. With light, fresh hoppy aromas, a soft, malty texture and creamy finish, Session slips down like fresh Scottish air!
Tasting Notes
Pours amber like a decent lager. Aroma of orange, marmalade, hay, light spice. Taste is well balanced with a slight tart, spiced orange finish due to the citrus. Easy to drink with gentle carbonation and nice mouthfeel. Orange becomes more prevelant as you get down the glass.
