Three Floyds Robert The Bruce Scottish Ale

Brewed by Three Floyds Brewing Company
Style: Scottish Ale
Munster, Indiana USA

Bottle 12oz. - Poured dark mahogany color with thin off white head. Aroma - musty, damp basement mixed with leather and grape blowpop suckers. Flavor - lightly sweet, tastes like grape blowpop and old woodsy oak. Palate - medium bodied beer with slick texture. Carbonation is average and finish is dusty and has little aftertaste. Overall - Awesome Scottish Ale!! I dig this style and this is done very well. Another bonus is this beer is 7.2% ABV. and tastes more like 4%!

12 oz. Bottle. Pours a dark brown, with a slight head that continues to live on the glass. A hearty woody/hoppy aroma. A medium to heavy mouthy feel. A warm, slightly alcoholic finish. Roasted malt is quite evident but balance of hops serves this great offering well.

On tap at the Three Floyds on 7/21/09. Pours beautiful dark amber with frothy head and great lacy. Nice roasty caramel aroma, touch of smoke. Very smooth balanced sweetness of brown sugar with a fantastic finish.

In a pint glass out of the bottle at a restaurant in Chicago. Pours a clear mahagony with a white head that does not linger. Aroma is mostly malt with currant, raisin and spice. I get some esters on the end. Well balanced. Mouthfeel is full and bready with some viscous nature to it. Full flavored malt taste with very little bitterness. Some cherry on the finish. Well constructed. I have only tried a few of the Three Floyds’ brews and this is my least favorite, but it is still a good offering.

Red-brown, beige color head with simple lacing. Aroma is roasty, cocoa, toast, smoke. Taste is sweet, caramel, cocoa, pine hops.

In short: A superior Scottish ale.
How: Bottle 12oz. Consumed when about 6 months of age. Sent to me by Shawn213, thanks a lot Shawn
The look: Clear light ruby-bown topped by an off-white ring of foam
In long: Light nose of fruity caramel. Taste is straightforward caramel, toffee, dried fruits, milk chocolate, green peas (not unpleasant), tree roots. The beer is sweet but doesn’t feel heavy thanks to the woody hops that dry it out nicely. Medium body and medium carbonation. Name after a former King of Scotland, England’s northern suburb.

Aroma of chestnut, brown sugar, toffee and cloved honey. Appearance is ruddy brown with creamy head. Flavor had some mild hops up front, with caramel, toffee, dark chocolate and rum cake as well. Palate is creamy with a little liveliness. Delicious.
