Commercial Description:
Unlike the lighter "Scottish" ales, this is an authentic heavy Scotch ale. It is lightly hopped with a strong malt character, and a hint of peaty smokiness. Warm fermentation produces fruity esters and balances the sweet malt character.

An extremely malty sweet beverage. Golden orange-brown in color with a tan bubbly head. Aroma of subtle smokiness. Flavor of toast, molasses, caramel, and all things sweet. A bit of a dry finish, but overall a very sweet malty beer.

It’s a style thing and the scotch should stick to well scotch. Given that take my rating with a healthy dose of salt. Looks like it should , maybe a little less red than I expect. Aroma is malty and taste is a little smokey. All in all a good scotch ale

22oz. "bomber" served in a tumbler- poured a semi transparent dark brown-ruby, low carbonation at the end of the glass, white ring for a head. Aroma of a hearty caramel malt, malt is hard to distinguish from an alcohol base (sorry, it’s there), with notes of plum and dark cherries- let’s give this brew a chance. Hits the mouth with a high-medium body, this wasn’t the hardest brew that crashed my palate today, but it’s trying, middle has an alcohol burn, finish still burns, yet, lingers for more. This brew is a "closer"- after "Jane" wouldn’t let you play with her "kitty", just drink this, go home, and see some free porn. Dumbasses. Plural. Hmm...yep, sure did say that.

A hazy burgundy color beer with no head. Aroma was dried fruit. Taste was caramel, dried fruit, & had a watery taste. A very smooth beer.

Pours a ruby colour with a small creamy white head. Aroma is sweet and malty. Toffee, cream, and sweet fruit. Watery palate. Sweet and simple. Dried apricots, toffee, and a oaky finish. Peat??? This is pretty pedestrian,.

Oh man, what can I say about the Kilt Lifter ! Truly a new favorite of mine... dark, rich color, dark plenty of flavor and a nice finish. Very Malty (but not syrupy) and lightly hopped. Happened apon the brewing co by chance.. glad we did. Took a growler home with us, whjich is rare that I like one that much.

Pours a hazy copper with off white head. Aroma of sweet caramel malt, toffee, some hops. Similar taste. Some dry woodiness going on in the finish.

Pours brown/amber frothy tan head fades quickly. Aroma is a lot of brown sugar and sweet fruit. Taste is the same. Medium-thin body, low carbonation. Some lingering sweetness and roast.
