Pike Kilt Lifter Scotch Ale

05.11.2008. On Tap at the brewpub. The Pike Brewing Co, Seattle, Wa. The colour is a kind of reddish brown. Aroma is dominated by some kind of smokey-whiskeyflavor thatr I like, but is strange. A special beer.

bottle, light brown color with a slight skim foam, nose is malty and sweet, maybe a little peat in there, flavor is scotch like but with a vegetal metallic note, finish is light and sour

Pretty good. Nice balance. I get a little roastiness instead of sweet which is good in my book. I like the ABV, not to high.

Pours a slightly dark red amber with a small white ring of foam that doesn’t last long. Aroma is kinda faint to me, some caramel, faint peat-smoke, slight c-hop and a little cheddar maybe. Flavor is a bit stronger, but still on the drinkable side with some caramel, tangy peat notes, pumperknickel and dryish floral hops. Finishes a little smoky, toasted and pleasantly dry. Medium to light bodied and kinda void on the tongue with no creaminess. I like my scotch ales on the heavy side and this just isn’t satisfying. Some decent flavors, but I want decadence damnit!

deep amber pour with a ring of froth no real head. huge caramel malts with slight fruits on the nose. very malty with a slight smokey finish and the caramel is quite bold in this one. not too bad in my book.

Bottle from kegs & Barrels in McKinney, TX. Pours a slightly hazy deep amber with orange hues, nice beige head. Aroma of caramel. Flavor is nice, caramel, nice fruity flavors, with a little hp. Mouthfeel is med-heavey body with medium carbonation....Overall, a tasty beer!

This ale pours a nice ruby amber with a small head. Caramel and a sweet malt on the nose. Taste is much of the same but in a much lighter version. Also this Wee Heavy is a lot lighter in body than usual. Very Drinkable and overall not to shabby!

Sour, rye, and hops dominate the aroma on this reddish brown pour. It has a nice roasted, peat malt flavor that is complimented by a certain amount of sourness.
