French Broad Wee-Heavy-est Belgian Scotch Ale

22oz bottle shared by holdenn! sampled next to the "er" pours ruby off white head. nose of beligan yeast, fruity, ripe fruit. flavors are yeasty, red fruit, wow very vibrant and nice.

Bottle from Cindirene’s. Pours mahogany with 2-finger off-khaki head. Nose is scotch malt, hops, yeasty esters, some slight funk. Tastes malty, spicy, hoppy, with funky slightly tart fruit and some dank basement esters and florals swishing about. Some late heat here, and some minor issues with balance, but this one is interesting. Comes off like a wee heavy/Belgian IPA hybrid, with a dollop of bier de garde thrown in for good measure.

Pours a dark amber color with off white head nice lacing aroma of dark fruits taste of dark fruits, alcohol, raisins and a sweet caramel taste finishes a little spicy and dry .... a good brew feels kinda heavy the alcohol hits you

22 oz. bottle from jimbowood. Pours a clear dark brown color with the slightest of off white heads. The aroma has a good amount of fruitiness, malty, yeast, and candi sugar. I don’t get any peat at all. The flavor has a high degree of sweetness from the combination of caramel malt and candi sugar. The Belgian yeast is a different take than most. Fruits and some spice round out the flavors. Medium bodied with a chewy feel.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. The smell is fruits, yeast, sweet, sugary, and belgian. The look is clear, amber brown in color, and has an off white head. the taste is spices, yeast, fruits, sweet, and sugary.

22 oz bottle. Dark cola brown with a big foamy tan head. Nose is cardboard and crayons then peat and malt. Medium body, silky smooth, with soft prickly carb. Taste is raisin, honey and sweet scotch with hints of tobacco. Reminds me of Drambuie without the alcohol. Tasty stuff.

Bottle sampled on 12/27/07: Transparent dark copper with a thin, spotty-lacing off-white head. Aroma of soft grainy caramel malt with a hint of peaty smoke. Body starts fairly full and caramely malty sweet with a mild balance of earthy peat toward a semi-dry finish. A pretty good Scotch ale.

(22oz bottle) Pours an amber-brown body with a small beige head. Aroma of apple, caramel, chocolate, light soap, wheat, and Belgian yeast. Flavor of hops (herbal, earth), caramel malt, chocolate, and peat.
