Very quiet. Most of the taps had finished.

The bar has just recently opened but seems to be building a solid customer base. Not too sure of the provenance of the Bottle Cap beers. Brewed by a Williams Bros brewer they may also have been brewed on Williams kit.
BeerABVScoreNotes
BrewDog - Jackhammer (keg)7.40GoodAroma and hops far more muted than the bottled version.
Bottle Cap - High Maltage6.90GoodDespite its name this was a moreish almost black beer. A solid malt backbone with just a hint of sweetness and plenty from the hops to keep it interesting. For a new brewery this a very positive start.
Bottle Cap - Stout5.00GoodMore lactic and less roast grains than a stout this drank as a very acceptable porter.

The pub is found in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, AB10 1FF.

Newly opened on Littlejohn Street this is a short walk from Six Degrees North and BrewDog. Stark, semi-industrial design but with lots of comfy sofas. Seems keen to capitalise on its stage with live performances most evenings. All craft keg at the moment but there are plans to introduce some cask in the future. The brewery is upstairs. Operation closed but quite when is uncertain.

We have visited this pub twice, seen 4 different beers and tried them all.
