Commercial Description:
Douglas Celtic Brown is a real Scottish ale, rude as its country of origin, mysterious as the legends and as generous as the inhabitants.

Spina al Blackwood, 40cl, versa maron molto scuro, poca schiuma, aroma dolciastro e piccante, sapore estremamente dolce, molto carbonata. Una scotch ale senza pregi, ma con qualche difetto; tuttavia non ho avuto voglia di buttarla e mi ha fatto fare qualche rutto BURP

Bottle. Pours dark bown, with decent head, that persists. Rich aroma of sweet malts and dark fruits. Quite full bodied on the palate, and rounded in taste. A decent dark ale.

Bottle: Poured a black brown with a tan color head. Aroma is roasted malts. Taste is a sugary caramel and malt mess. Leaves the mouth tingly at finish.

Bottle, 330ml at Le Feu aux Trousses, Gare du Nord, Paris. Dark brown ruby with cream head. Sweet caramel flavours, quite fruity and roasty although a little thin on the palate. Alcohol is quite noticeable throughout.

Appearance: reddish brown color. Medium head of clear-beige color and with good retention. Aroma: to caramel and roasted malts, dark sugar, butterscotch, ripe fruits like plums and fig and spicy hints of ginger and clove. Flavor: sweet dark malts, caramel, toast, berries, plum and figs; sweet spiciness similar to ginger, cinnamon and clove. Progress with other notes similar to red-apples skin, candied fruits and multi-berries jam. Final lightly astringent, with lasting fruity-dryness and some slight eucalyptus notes. Sweet wine’s reminiscences. Palate: light to medium body and semi-viscous texture. Low carbonation. Remark: light unbalanced in the start, finally compensate. Some notes of complexity and character. Nice.
