Brewdog 5AM Saint

An amber ale from the land of scots, packaged in that inimitable, somehow unlikeable way of Brewdog.

Pours very attractively in terms of both appearance and aroma. Then all of a sudden you're singing christmas songs. This is very faithful to type in terms of taste - a classic Amber, sweet malt the main characteristic with a bit of fruitcake sort of stuff going on also, then a slight peppery finish. There's just the right amount of bitterness and hops to balance that sweetness.

It's not a revolutionary take on things but a very solid one - much like their IPA effort in fact. Good beer. 8.0
