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.

Nice orange color, rather ododrless. Has an orange-apply flavor with a mild hop prescence. A nice solid beer.

Clear bright amber hue. Rich malty, peated aroma with toffee and caramel. Sweet toffee/ caramel palate, fairly clean in the finish.

Bottled. Pours a light amber color. Aroma is slightly sweet and malty. Some fruity caramel like aromas as well. Somewhat sweet with a little bit of malt. A hint of roastiness in the finish. Some creamy scotch qualities as well.

This was a good beer. Pike has some others that are also just as nice. The flavor was very nice and the hint of peat added to the hops flavor. I like what Pike is brewing.

On draft at Humpy’s Alaskan Ale House, 7/6/05: This is a red beer with little aroma. Medium to harsh cooked sugars predominate with a middle of the road caramel finish.

On Tap at Kahootz: I expected something that was going to lift my kilt a little bit, but I was disappointed with this one. Flavors of cola were noticed and a good balance of malts and hops. Overall, not that great.

On tap @ Pike: Clear Amber, small off-white head. Some caramel, slight peat & smoke, light fruity undertones, not bad.

Draught @Pike Pub. Deepest amber color, leaning towards cherry; or, the last tea-colored vestiges of a perfect sunset. Almost no head. Aroma is bread and butter with strawberry jam and a trace of seaweed. Flavor of rich butter scones with the slightest hint of caramel; then a blast of blackberry, schnapps-like in intensity. Very odd. Full, round palate. Dry finish with a lingering tannic/bitter aftertaste that becomes almost peppery after a while. Okay in general, but c’mon, “Scottish”???
