Copper Creek Scottish Ale

Ale on tap. Poured a deep ruby brown with a tan head, little lace. Aroma of roasted sweet malt, some earthy notes. Taste is a little bready, with lots of malt, caramel, and some faint spice. Mouth is medium, and the finish is mild. Overall, another solid brew from Matt and crew.

On cask at the 2006 Atlanta Cask Ale Fest Poured a hazy copper color with a medium sized beige head. Toasted malt aroma is sweet with some grape and nuttiness. Flavor is fruity, nutty and sweet. A touch of smoke can be found swimming around in there. Light to medium body. Pretty tasty.

On cask at the 2006 Atlanta Cask Ale Fest. Pours medium to dark brown. Aroma is roasty malt with a little bit of peat smoke. Flavor is much the same and a bit nutlike. Very smooth on the palate, pretty nice. Goes well on cask.

This beer is a fairly dark brown. The aroma is a big maltiness with molasses and a bit of nuttiness. There’s a suggestion of smoke in the finish, but nothing you can put your finger on. A little peaty, maybe. Good as usual from this excellent brewer.
