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.

22 oz shared with Bman1113vr. Nice red-brown color with a quickly receding head. Raisins on the nose, with some additional yeast. Smoky flavor up front with a nice bit of malty sweetness.

3/19/09 9:45pm .. Houston,TX ::::: funny, has a very british malt profile, light caramel and odd biscuit malt (very english ale) like flavours ... low but sturdy headpool ... a very simple beer (no scotch here) ... stormy seems to be feeling better ... "if you buy it, women will have sex in your backyard" .... pours a slightly murky marmalade colour... no city noise, no flesh eating ogres, no pollution, a real easy drinking brew that would be good for a beginner but falls horribly short of a real craft brew ... one of pikes lesser efforts...freebie from Pablo, thx!

Dark copper in color with a medium sized off-white head. Aromais of malt, peat, and a light smokiness. Taste is of a little smoke and toffee, but is kind of weak.

This actually has some merit. Pours a brownish orange color with a small off white head. Notes of smoked malt and rich caramel and toffee dominate this earthy beer. Some fruitiness is present but it is subdued. Thin mouthfeel. Not bad overall.

22oz bottle. Brown pour, with a slightly reddish hue, with an off-white head. Aroma of caramel, peat, earth and tootsie rolls. Flavor of peat and earth, with caramel and smoke. Medium body. Peat and smoke linger on the palate. Nice.

Hazy, dark orange pour. Very little head to speak of, and hardly any carbonation sensed on the mouthfeel either. The aroma is probably the best thing this beer has going for it; so pleasant. An immediate bitter taste greets you, but is weaker than expected. A hoppy, bitter aftertaste lingers but is not overpowering. This beer was nothing to speak ill about but I was expecting more.
