on tap-pours a light tan head and copper color. Aroma is sweet medium malt-butterscotch. Taste is sweet medium malt-butterscotch, faint hops. Mild carbonation.

This Scottish Ale pours a medium amber color from the tap at the brewpub. Medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is mild malts with some breadiness. A light bodied Scottish Ale. The malts are caramel and sweet, touch of smoke. The hops are earthy. It a really light bodied Scottish ale, but I guess it was brewed that way. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Draught. Pours clear brown with an average, frothy, white head, lasting with good lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (caramel, cookie, straw), light hop (grass, herb), average yeast (dough) with notes of dates and brown sugar. Medium bodied, thin texture, average carbonation, and a bitter finish. Average duration, light sweetness, moderate acidity and bitterness.

Draught at the brewpub. Hazy amber color with thin off white head. Rich aorma of brown sugar, sprucy hops, and malty caramel. Creamy caramle flavor with a hint of toffee and candy apple at the end.

Cloudy brownish, with a kahki head. Mellow, malty aroma, with a hint of cola. Sweet and rich, with a pumpernickel bread flavor and a dryish, peppery finish.

Appearance: Pours a clearish, medium brown body with a small, white head. Smell: Light aroma of malty caramel, though not much else. Can’t a hint of caramel be enough for once? I say yes. Taste: Soft flavor of toasted caramel with a very mild measure of sweetness. A fine dose of woody, spicy hops lasts into the finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: A satisfactory Scottish ale, and a nice way to kick-off the evening.

Sampled on draft at the brewpub. Pours a medium amber color with a medium head. Fair head retention and good lacing. Aroma is caramel and earthy, minty hops. Taste is caramel and earthy peat notes. Medium bodied.
