Commercial Description:
Our seasonal offering of our “classic” Scottish style ale. Unlike our Isle of Skye Scottish Ale, which has malty, roasty and hoppy notes, the main emphasis in this beer is on its malt character. “90 Shilling” is a traditional tax designation that indicated the beer was of the highest quality. Try this beer with roasted meats or cheese. Amazingly, it works well with some desserts, especially our Crème Brulee and Apple Crisp. O.G. 1066 I.B.U. 35

on tap-pours an off white head and copper color. Aroma is sweet medium malt, some earthy. Taste is sweet medium malt/grainy-caramel, secondary earthy hops. OK effervescence.

I am not sure if it is fair to rate this one that I had on tap in Little Rock. Incredibly flawed, I could not even finish a sample sized glass. The body was dark brown and red. The aroma was nice enough with iced tea and caramel. The taste was disgustingly, incredibly cloying sweet tea. Nasty old caramel and buttery notes were also in this one. Alsolutely atrocious with some hints of stale smoke. It tasted like they either boiled way too long or forgot to add yeast. Yum, raw wort!

Sweet, very fruity baked tart aroma. Dark, but clear, brown. Excellent mouthfeel, a bit chalky somehow. Medium-heavy body. Well-bittered. Not as sweet as it smells. Tangy at times, a little roast, a good balance. Finish is peaty.

Draft at nashville. Pours dark amber with a wisp of a head. Not much aroma, perhaps a wiff of dark caramel. Very malty flavor of caramel, medium roast, and perhaps some very faint peat. Clean and mild pepper finish. Not bad, but I would love to see this one with a different yeast strain

Nashville. No aroma. Dark amber in color with excellent lace. Flavor is ESB-like. I really like this. Caramel notes and fairly high alcohol profile.

Draft at the Nashville location. Clearish dark amber pour. Toasty aroma. Malty, alcoholic flavor. Cloying sticky finish.

On tap at the Nashville location. Poured a clear dark amber with red highlights, and a one finger tan head. The aroma was pretty much all malt. Caramel and toffee and a little bit of toast. The flavor was grainy with some caramel and an earthy finish. This was a pretty decent beer. The mouthfeel was a little thick and sticky, but the carbonation and body were spot on.

(Tap) Pours a dark brown color with a tan head. Aroma of caramel and biscuit. Taste includes dark malts and grainy notes. Roasted nut and toffee in here as well. Above average palate and average carbonation. Light hop finish. A very good beer!
