Brau Brothers Scotch Ale

Medium copper clear color. A little off in the taste. Overall a weak Scotch ale. Brau brothers disappointes.

Eagan, Mn. - Cellars Wine and Spirits - 12 oz bottle. Murky, medium copper pour with not much of a head. Sweet aroma with some smoky peat accents and just a hint of band-aids. Flavor is similarly sweet with the same smoked peat flavor, a hint of white grapes, some smoked meat Mouthfeel is thick enough. Overall decent.

Pours cloudy amber tinted medium brown with a huge frothy beige head that has greeat retention, but suddenly collapses after a few minutes. Aroma is caramel, lots of butterscotch, vegetal notes, peach, a little pineapple, some smoke and some berry like notes. Flavor is sweet malt, caramel, peat smoke, lots of earth, dusty old wood, smoked nuts and some light metallic notes to finish. Palate is medium-thin with a dry feel throughout and a prickly, fizzy carbonation, that didn’t fit too well. I wasn’t expecting much after the aroma, but it turned out to be pretty tasty, the palate was rather disappointing though.

Probably worst beer at brewfest 09. So much compost in aroma and taste. A little bit of smoke. Slight caramel, bad.

cloudy dark brown pour with a bright white head. earthy flavors with a metallic finish

Pours medium brown with a medium-sized off-white head. Aroma of berries and grapes. Very malty flavor, slightly peaty with a finishing roasted malt and hops. Medium body. A pretty good beer. I like the chocolaty finish.

TAP: clear amber pour, aroma is caramel and wood. Sweet smoky flavor - decent scotch ale.

Dark burnt orange pour. Aroma of smoke, wood, sweetness. The smokiness in the flavor is predominant, over powering, and seems artificial. Almost like they dumped some liquid smoke in this one. Flabby mouthfeel with adequate carb. Kind of bad Scotch ale.
