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.

Earthy aroma in the nose on top of a beautiful reddish amber color. Fizzy mouthfeelwith a wonderful malty characteristic. Pretty darn tootin' gwood.

Pours dark amber with a tan, foamy head. Light hoppy aroma. I think this might be my first scottish ale, so I have no reference point for some of these comparison. Flavorful, malty, hoppy, a tad sweet. Feels good in the mouth. An average ale, a beer I will enjoy drinking slowly this evening.

22oz bomber from my local Shaw’s. Dark amber/red translucent body with a half an inch of off-white head. Aroma is weak, but hints at roasted malt and hop. Roastiness dominates the flavor, not like a porter, but a roasted malt nonetheless. Medium-bodied. Flavor and mouthfeel are not overwealming, thus this is a really drinkable brew for the style. While not the best Scottish ale I’ve had, it’s a good one from one of my favorite breweries. I’ll be having this one again, sure.

12oz bottle: Dark orange with a big rocky white head that sticks around for while. Rich malty aroma. Starts sweet and ends a little less for a while until sweetness comes back for the aftertaste. Smooth with light carbonation in the mouthfeel.

Ruby in color with a small white head.Huge malt notes, mild caramel and roasted malt character. Starts sweet and ends on the semi-sweet side.
