Jan 21, 2007 Draft at Shirlington (I assume this is the proper entry location for this beer as the beer was called Scotch Ale). Good Scotch ale, most of the ones I’ve had are pretty overpowering, this one had the right amount of malts and wasn’t overpowering with the alcohol flavors.

Dec 15, 2003 A very prototypical scotch ale. The alcohol was a little too evident for me, running roughshod over some of the more delicate flavors. A nice mix of woodiness, with earth and peat mixed in. A good beer overall, but not noteworthy.

Mar 3, 2003 I believe this was the gold medal winner at the 2003 RAF for Scottish styles. A very good malty and complex scottish with smoked malt and caramel notes shining through. A very enjoyable brew on the cask.

Apr 22, 2002 Dark brown with a slight auburn tint. Alcohol is very noticeable in this one. Plenty of flavors of scotch, peat, and earthiness. Enjoyably complex.

Nov 19, 2001 Think of a fireside on a frosty night - good food and good beer like this one. Rich dark humours, fruity and warm, with hints of berry and maple syrup. The best beer available at the Baltimore Capitol City location.
