Middle Ages Kilt Tilter

Brewed by Middle Ages Brewing
Style: Scotch Ale
Syracuse, New York USA

Black - very, very black. Nice smooth coffee and molassess aroma. Flavor is very rich, with coffee and mollasss again, plus earthy, smokey notes. Sampled at Springslicker’s Fish Fry.

Poured brown with a white head. Aroma of candy and fruit. Sweet caramel flavor. Sweet but not over the top sweet.

light smoke/sweetness , light tar, burnt caramel notes ... balanced like a bowling ball on a knife in a bag at the bottom of the ocean in concrete .. abv is slightly apparent .. "s’more schnapps" ... pretty tasty stuff, but lacks the smoke level and fullness of most scotches...

Bottle shared by a local, thanks dude. Poured a deep, murky caramel-brown color with a thin beige head that faded to a ring. Bland aroma that only presents hints of caramel malt, a hint of smoke, and some light peat. Smooth, lightly sweet entry with some light caramel and a soft undertone of peat paired with some smoke that transitions into a light dry finish. Low carbonation and decent on the palate. Surprised at the high average for this beer, because it seemed a bit lackluster in most elements. Perhaps that could be chalked up to a bad bottle, but something seemed off.

This ale pours with a very dark brown, almost burgundy color. The head appears well above the beverage, a very light tan. Flavor is very simplistic, lightly sour, smoky. Very basic example. No malt depth.

22 oz bottle. Poured darker than I was expecting for a Scotch Ale, but I’m not disappointed because I like ’em darker. Cream colored head that hangs around a while. Nice smooth and semi-sweet flavor, smooth carmel and fruitiness. Very nice.

Nice aroma, fruity, malty, bread like, caramel, some cocoa. Color like Coca Cola, brown, with red tint, slightly translucent. Decent tan head. Taste is fruity up front, caramel, malts, toasted malt in particular. Very nice. The finish is low on hops, but has a nice warming alcohol effect. Good medium thick mouthfeel. This is the only time the alcohol comes out of hiding in this beer. Very nicely crafted, a good example of the style.

Bottle thanks to Cletus. Pours a amber brown in color, small tan head. Aromas of grape, cranberry, and other fruit notes. Flavors are fruity, toasted malts, brown sugar, and some vanilla.
