CooperSmiths Highland Scottish Ale

On tap at the brewpub on 10/14/07: Transparent dark copper mahogany with a frothy dark tan head. Aroma of sweet toasted dark caramel malt and a hint of earthy peat. Body starts with nice thickness and sweet earthy toffee with a touch of faint tartness and grassy hops for balance toward a bittersweet finish. A pretty nice Scottish ale.

Tap @ CooperSmiths: Poured a clear deep amber color with a beige head. Sweet and malty aroma with light peat and dark fruits. Malty flavor with some toffee (but not sweet). Dry finish.
