Keen, friendly service.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ballast Point - Calico Amber (keg) | 5.50 | | Subtle pine and fruit on the nose then an initial burst of light hops which quickly dies in the mouth leaving nothing but a faintly bitter finish. Maybe 2* really. |
| Stone - Smoked Porter (keg) | 5.90 | Not Tried | |
| Ballast Point - Black Marlin Porter (keg) | 5.90 | Not Tried | |
| Ballast Point - Big Eye IPA (keg) | 6.80 | Not Tried |

Busy. Staff on top form.

| Stone - Sublimely Self Righteous IPA (keg) | 8.70 | | After that fruity nose it is surprisingly mild in the mouth until those tropical flavours kick in. Medium bodied and long drying finish. Served with limited carbonation and at around 9degC this was seriously good ale. |
| Stone - IPA (keg) | 6.90 | Not Tried |

Busy mid-evening. Now gone up to 12 taps. Problem of over-chilled, too gassy beer resurfaced.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stone - IPA (keg) | 6.90 | | 2* for serve: way too cold and gassy. 4* for the beer. Bold flavoursome and assertive this is a great beer. Come on BrewDog do it justice. |

| BrewDog - Christmas Porter (keg) | 6.20 | Not Tried | Wonder if this is Alice in disguise? |

Not been in for a while so good to see the service was still spot on.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| BrewDog - Chaos Theory (keg) | 7.10 | | Not as subtle as early brews - might struggle now to identify Nelson Sauvin as the lead hop. Quite harsh mouth feel. |
| Stone - Double Bastard (keg) | 11.20 | | Been looking forward to this but it seemed tired. Clear alcohol, loads of mixed up flavours - no defined lead from either hops or malt. |

Busy but great service.

|---|---|---|---|
| Kernel (The Kernel) - Citra IPA (keg) | 7.20 | | Pine and tropical aromas. Bittersweet on the tongue. Solid malty background showcased candied citrus peel, fresh grass and resins. Long finish. A beer to sip and enjoy. |

Filled up quickly.

|---|---|---|---|
| Stone - Ruination (keg) | 7.70 | | Uncompromising Double IPA. Booming hops on the nose. A little sweetness before those resinous tropical fruits kick in, perfectly balanced by the malts. Stridently bitter with drying finish. |

Busy. Launch of Ghost Deer.

|---|---|---|---|
| Stone - Cali-Belgique IPA (keg) | 6.90 | | Stone IPA brewed with Belgian yeast overlays the clean, crisp IPA with Saison's character. Falls between 2 stools - not a great success. |

The pub is found in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, AB25 1EB.
BrewDog's first bar and well worth the wait. Tidy, minimalist decor. As you'd expect plenty of rough brick and unpainted steel. Limited food at the moment but 6 beers all on keg plus a range of import beers at champagne prices.
We have visited this pub 89 times, seen 126 different beers and tried 84 of them.
