Four Peaks Kilt Lifter Scottish-Style Ale

Brewed by Four Peaks Brewing Company
Style: Scottish Ale
Tempe, Arizona USA

On tap: Mild scottish aroma; sweet and grainy; very slightly smoky; served way too cold and I didn’t have time to wait; giving the benefit of the doubt, it still is not very good

light brown/orange color with big, quickly dissipating off white head. Aroma is full of styrofoam, with a bit of strawberry and faint noble hops. Flavor is simple, malty with a touch of caramel, dry finish. I don’t think this is infected, because the taste is ok, if a little boring, but it really doesn’t smell good at all.

On tap @ Famous Dave’s, Chandler Mall, AZ: Amber red in color, almost no head, white. Very light aroma, hops. Not much taste, hoppy, nutty aftertaste-similar to Newcastle. Very lively and carbonated.

Dark Orange/Brown to Copper Coloring with Off White Head. Very Sweet Aroma. Smells Closely to Toasted Dry Fruit Than Smoke...Sweet Malt No Doubt Helping in This. Heavy Malt and Peat Notes. Smokey Burn on Back of the Throat. Interesting Brew!

good drinking beer . Nice mild flavor but no strong after taste. I could pound these all night

12oz bottle. Copper color with white fizzy head. Sweet aroma of malt with a trace smoke as it warms. There is a bit of smoke in the taste, lots of roasted abd fire flavor. Then, bam! it falls flat. It is a smooth drink, nce abv, but there is no finish in this. After the start, I was expecting more. Still, pleasant. Thanks beerhandy.

A dark amber that does not go down like a dark amber. Though rather sweet, it is not enough to distract from the enjoyment of this smooth beer. From the tap is the best way to drink it, although I have only had it out of a bottle a few times. It is best served ice cold, but even after sitting in the Arizona heat for a while, it is drinkable.

Thanks go to either Beerhandy or FlacoAlto who both sent packages that arrived on the same day. Very sweet aroma and no smokiness at all. Almosts mells like mango juice which I have to assume wasn’t intended. Dark amber color with a huge head that fades to nothing in short order. Very light with, finally, a touch of smokiness and a dash of caramel, but scant else and little intensity in the present flavors.
