Commercial Description:
Scottish Ale is our interpretation of the hearty brews native to Scotland. A shade darker than our Bitter, with a rich, slightly sweet first impression on the palate that rounds out to a satisfying maltiness and a medium-dry hop finish.

A decent ale, cant quite figure out the abv feeling right away as it is hidden in the malt. A slow roasted brew that deserves to be sipped, has a nice bitterness to it, but there is just something missing...

Quickly dissipating head. Brownish amber body. Sugary malt aroma. Lots of caramel in the taste. Slight bitterness. Mostly just a lot of malts in the taste. Sticky mouthfeel. Tastes like mediocre candy.

12oz bottle from Brian (dogfish120love). Dark copper pour. Sweet, fruity, dark fruity is more than like it. Toasty, caramally and just a hint of bitterness, not too bad.

On tap at Gritty McDuffs, Portland. Amber colour with a pretty non existent head. Strong aroma of earthy malt. Very rich flavour with a hint of spices. Didn’t hit the spot.

12 ounce bottle pours amber with a nice solid cream head. Kind of weak caramel smell but it still is good once you can catch a whiff. The taste is some caramelized malt along with some hops. Very easy to drink and tasty scotch ale Would buy again

Bonused bottle in trade from joepais (pastor). Thanks dude!
Pours a dark amber with a bubbly and short lived beige head. Smell is slightly thin, and smoky, peaty, and very much to style. Taste is subtly smoked maltiness, lightly hopped, and peaty. Light bodied and an easy drinking scotch ale. Not bad, but just not a preferred style.

(Bottle). Sweet malty aroma. Color is reddish amber, with a very small head. Flavor caramelly malt, followed by a mild dryish finish. Not great, but better than some other choices from this brewer.
