Bottle. Aroma of sweet malt with some tart/sour notes. Wet earth and a hint of juniper and pine. Pours a muddy brown/copper with a quickly fading white head. Flavor of toasted sweet malt. Hint of earth. Some sweetness (toffee) and some dry, bittering hops. Medium bodied.

Bottled 75cl. Spicy nose with hints of alcohol and metal. Malty metallic taste with hints of spices and soap. Buttery. Unpleasant finish.

Pours a deep brown with a thick white head that lasts and lasts. A very nice sweet beer with brown sugar and caramel along with some alcohol burn and enough hops to give it some bite. I was very happy to get the opportunity to try this one.

Aroma is a mild roasted scent. Color is a deep hazy orange brown with good carbonation and a tight tan head. Taste is mildly sweet. Starting with a light body it goes down easy with a slight crispness. Finish comes in with a mild sweet roasted malt flavor and a little caramel with hints of fruit, then ends with a very mellow bitterness. After taste is clean with a slight warming feel. This brew is much lightly then it looks, this is not a bad thing. Its a delicate flavor that gets better as it warms up. Don’t try this brew too cold, the bottle says drink it between 50°-55° and that’s where the flavor really shows up.

Excellent chocolate and toffee nose to begin with. The dry hop presence offsets the malt flavour and then mellows to be a fine resinous ale. Scottish? Well ok, but the Belgian character comes through. RE-RATE: All of the above and then some. This is an excellent beer that toally belies its alcoholic content.

Not what I expected at all. Pours a cloudy dark brown color with a creamy foamy tan head. Smells of sour wheat and tastes like wheat, sugar, and raisens. The beer is somewhat watery and soft and I would have never guessed that this was 8.5. Alcohol is well hidden and refreshing. This is a scotch ale?

75cl, from De Hopduvel Gent, complex scotch, hazy, good head, good brew, but not a topper
