Peoples Pint Scotch Ale

Double Ewe Scotch @Pilsner Petes East Coast Gathering-22oz bottle-pours a thin tan head and amber color. Aroma is medium malt-peat/caramel, earthy hops, some dark fruit. Taste is medium malt-peat/caramel, earthy hops, some dark fruit. Occasional.

Brown pour with a creamy tan head and lace. Light caramel malt with an off kinda chemical aroma. Caramel and abv flavor. A tad foamy and thin. A drinkable beer but just not spot on.

Bottle or growler (don’t remember) Brownish pour with a tan head. Slightly infected aroma- tartish notes over caramel and diacetyl. Sweet flavor with mixed notes of caramel, butter (diacetyl) and tart infected papery notes. Pretty off.

Bottle. Pours a brown body with an off white head. Woody malty caramel with hints of smoke malt and bread. Slight malty etoh warming.

Bottle. Some nice smoke and malt back. Some sweetness and finishes clean. Nice balance.

Bottle shared at the Smoke from the Oak release, labeled as People’s Pint McShagger’s Double Ewe Scotch Ale. Pours a hazy brown with a beige to tan head. Aroma is piles of molasses with some roast malt. Sweet caramel on a medium thick body. Finishes with a light hop bitterness.

This was my first scotch ale so I did not know what to expect, so take this reveiw with a grain of salt. Has a very dark brown color and a sweet smell. Taste is sweet with some roasted flavor to it. It finishes smooth with slight bitterness. Overall I did not like this beer too much because of the sweetness in both the smell and taste. It just did not seem to mix well.

Very sweet and slightly smoky; earthy and coniferous. Lots of caramel, very toasty and warming; grainy but soft mouthfeel; the mix of hot buttered/caramel/pecan popcorn from Garretts popcorn shop on the corner of Adams and State in Chicago. Yum.
