Empyrean Burning Skye Scottish Ale

Cloudy copper color, smooth carmel taste. very good went well with my steak.

Pours copper with a thin off white head. Smells of caramel, molasses, diacetyl. Tastes buttery and sweet with a vegetal finish.

(on tap at Lazlos in downtown Lincoln). Pours a clear amber color. Medium white head. Light malt aroma. Sweet malt/caramel flavor with light citrus. Slick texture. Spare lacing. Soft carbonation.

Bottle. I believe my first beer from Nebraska; I brought back one more from them too. Color wasn’t very attractive. Aroma was a bit musty, a bit bready and a touch smoky. Not that great of an aroma. Flavor was alot better, but really not that flavorful or true to the style. Almost more akin to an amber. Not much smokiness or sweetness. Caramel and bread predominantly. As others have said, it is really drinkable, but just not very tasty.

Deep hazy bronze body with a thin white head. The aroma was massive caramel and pears with light hints of green wood. There is also an underlying buttery note. The taste has some notes of old caramel candy and light wood. There is also some peppery spice that sneaks in as you drink. Drinkable and drinkable, I actually liked this more than many Scottish Ales, as it tasted more like a malty ESB to me.

Can’t place the aroma. This is pretty good too. Not very smoky or peaty, with some malt but not a lot. Doesn’t seem much like a Scottish but it’s okay anyways.

Pours a clear reddish orange. Thin, fizzy white head with decent retention. Aroma is sweet malts. Flavor is not as sweet, with some smoky notes and coffee malt. Think Fat Tire with a hint of coffee flavor. No aftertaste. Is this a great beer? No. But for a smooth session beer, you could do a lot worse.

12oz from the cellar via trade with someone. Pours orange tan head. Nose is eh. Taste is really eh,
