Big Dogs Kilt Sniffer Scottish Ale

Brewed by Big Dogs Brewing Co.
Style: Scotch Ale
Las Vegas, Nevada USA

Looks and smells nice. Fairly sweet, but also a little sour. Sweeter at the finish and more than one would expect for the style. Tasted a little light actually on the alcohol too, but still fairly decent.

Nitro tap. Clear amber with a nice frothy white head and great lacing. Nice malty nose. Smooth balanced malty flavor. Very drinkable.

Sampled from a growler courtesy of kp: Pours a dark mahogany with ruby huies and a thin tan head. Sweet dark malty and mildly peaty aroma has a touch of dark fruits. Starts sweet and sticky with lots of dark caramel malt and some mild plum flavor with some dark Belgian candi sugar sweetness. A touch of bitterness in the finish rounds out this nice, fairly authentic Scotch ale.

ruby/very dark brown color with some fruity and nutty aromas and flavors. some apricot and candi sugar, with carmel and lots of malts.

Growler @ Kps cellar. Poured a brownish ruby color with a medium tan head and a nice cascade effect. Aroma was sweet and malty. Grapey with caramel and chocolate. Malty sweet flavor. Smooth mouthfeel with a low carbonation. Warming.

Dark, dark ruby. Big malty aroma. Molasses, brown sugar, and cherries. Slight touch of chocolate. A bit overcarbonated, though.

Dark brown,almost black with a thick off white head. Aroma is a bit watery, corn and light alcohol. Flavor is sweet malt, light roast, caramel. A bit to sweet for my taste but not bad.
