Commercial Description:
Step into the Scottish Highlands with this authentic Strong Scotch Ale. A lovely and deep garnet color is joined by the aroma of plums and toffee in this unique and special ale. Brewed with Maris Otter malted barley from Crisp Maltings, Ltd. in England, the rich and full-bodied feel of this beer brings out flavors of caramel and roasted chestnuts, which is balanced with a clean and crisp alcohol finish, and just the right amount of lingering hop bitterness. A real treat!

the only scotch ale I’ve had, so I’ve got nothing similar to base this off... sweet to start with a piney close. A nice deep red color, too. An unassuming and delicious ale.

Thanks to BBB63 for this one. Pours hazy deep ruby thorugh light (dark brown via ambient light), with medium off-white head and visible hop floaties. Aroma of malt, chocoff, hops. Tastes malty, with a chocoff element, plus some finishing hops. Complex taste, with a mdeium palate. Notable smoothness and balance. Very good.

Not the full flavor I was looking forward to. One dimensional malt flavor without the sweetness that the style usually has. Thin and watery ale. Kinka blah.

Pours dark opaque brown with no head. Decent malt aroma with some dark fruit, raisin? Nice lacing. Flavor was sweet malt and that’s it. A little alcohol in finish. Just o.k.

Dark ruby brown body topped by a small light tan head. The aroma is soft caramel and light smoke. Sweet malty flavor, caramel and raisins dominate with light peaty smoke. Lightly bitter. Soft medium body.
