The Gloaming
A dark reddish-brown ale at 4.4% that the brewery places in the Scottish 80 Shilling tradition. Rich roasted malts dominate the nose, with a chocolate note in its own tasting line; on the palate come biscuit and cereal flavours and a finish described as sweet yet dry. First Gold hops stay in the background and leave the grain in front. The name is the Scots word for twilight.
