Commercial Description:
With a similar malt profile to its more famous cousin Scotch whisky, this smooth, strong beer is complex with a lingering hop finish.

On tap at the Iron Rabbit in Olympia, WA. Pours a dark broze color with a medium beige head. Nice almost-smoky malt aroma with floral undertones. Malty taste upfront with caramel, but a nice balance of hops keeps it from being too sweet. Not as "heavy" as some of the Scotch ales I’ve had, and probably the best. Good brew! I’d like to pair this brew with Kansas City style ribs, cole slaw, and roasted potatoes.

Dark brown. No head. Lots going on in the nose. Chocolate and smokey notes backed up by some sweet dark fruit and maybe some tobacco. Flavor is mostly smokey chocolate with some nice fruity aspects as well. Pretty thick with a touch of warmth. Obviously a malt accentuated brew. I think this should be rated higher.

8/31/2007: Boundary Bay Scotch Style Ale is brown with a reddish hue (chesnut-colored?). Fruity and caramelized malt are found in the aroma and flavor. This beer is lightly hopped and has a slightly dry finish. It is smooth and quite drinkable.

Draught sample (O.G. 1.064) at The Boundary Bay Brewery & Bistro in Bellingham, Washington. Rating #33 for this beer...
