Bottle in Cossab, BsAs - Thankfully not like most other "Scotch" ales in that it’s not smokey or phenolic - or, at least, not overpoweringly so. A rich red colour, it has the usual toffee-maltiness of the Irish Red style with additional bitterness and lots of complexity and flavour. The finish is surprisingly bitter and toffee/malty - it’s quite unclassifiable to me, but still an excellent drinking beer.

Nov 26, 2008 Bottle: Drank during the blackout on my way to the Oktoberfest. Thin and watery, draft at the fest was better.

does not count  May 19, 2008 Caremel malts, nice bitterness, round in mouth. Fine example but lacks hopps.

Dec 30, 2006 Updated: Jan 29, 2007<i>Bottled at Cossab, Buenos Aires. </i> Clear nut brown. Aggresive plastic phenols kicks me in the nostrils. Sweetish with clean, rounded mouthfeel. A bad surprise knowing that their oat meal stout is very good. If yo uget beneath the phenols there might be a good beer down there, but who knows?
