Gritty McDuffs Scottish Ale

Brewed by Gritty McDuffs
Style: Scottish Ale
Portland, Maine USA

Bottle from my Vermont vacation. Amber color wtiha small white head. This does not taste like a scottish ale to me. Aroma was fine with malts, honey and some hops. Overall the flavor was just too hoppy for the style. I dont expect this much hop flavor in a scottish.

Bottle. Pours a clear amber with a thin off white head that quickly dissapears. Aroma was grassy and piney. Tasted sweet with an oaky tinge.

12oz. Bottle: Aroma of malts, grains, and molasses. Poured amber in color with a small off-white head that diminished. Clear. Sparkling. Flavor of malts, grains, molasses, alcohol, and earthy hops. Medium body. Average texture. Average to lively carbonation. Grain and alcohol finish.

Smells of deep smoky malt.Pours a deep brownish almost red color with a thin white head. It tastes sharply of spices and smoke. Not bad

This is a scottish ale from front to back.... bold tast, nutty, fruity. good beer, gets to the point!

Pours sort of amber glass colored with khaki head. Aroma is bready scotchy malt, caramel, some vinous fruity notes, and some earthy peaty notes. Tastes malty, caramelly, with mild vinous fruit hints, a solid hop presence and some earthy peaty root cellary notes late. I really like this style, and this one was decent.

Not a fan of the style. Reddish pour, much like an irish red ale. Over syrupy, carmel, and odd hops are a bit offensive. Yet, this one is a bit better than to crowd.

10 oz bottle poured reddish brown with an off white head Aromas of malt and slight bread smell along with some hops Palate is medium light carbonation on the tongue Flavors of malt and caramel a rather strong hop bitter finish for the stile I was a little disappointed in the bottle I had this from the brewpub and let’s say it tastes a lot different but still an interesting beer none the less
