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.

My favourite Pike’s beer to date. Just when I have myself convinced I don’t much care for Scottish Ales, a beer like this comes along. Not too earthy, just beautifully balanced sweetness. One of their most wildly avaliable beers, I would highly recomend picking up a six-pack.

Bottle poured slightly hazey bronze color with thin head. Intense caramel aroma. A bit carbonated but very tastey. Sweet.

Great buttery smell, texture and taste. Great lacing. The buttery aspect of this ale is amazing. I almost expect this one to have cholesterol.

bottle 12 oz. Purchased at Huckleberry's in Spokane. Almost clear amber/copper, moderate carbonation, small off white head that died fast, min lace. Aroma is light roasted malt, CO2, minimal hops & a touch of toffee. Flavor is somewhat sweet medium roasted malt rather lightly hopped. Some bitterness with a slight earthy taste & some spice. Medium bodied. A bit tinny (I don't mean tin tasting), could have been smoother and richer but not bad. A trace of alcohol is noticible. I prefer more of a hop balance. Would buy again if I couldn’t get what I like better.

On Tap Sweet flavor with light hops. A bit of almond/cashew flavor and floral aftertaste. This tastes like a mild scotch ale - which hides that fact that it packs quite a high ABV.

On tap. Pours a cloudy light brown with a small head on top. Aroma is mostly malty with caramel, fruit, and spice coming through. Flavor is mostly a fruit spiciness. Could taste some hops in there also. A decent beer for a crappy bar.

It pours a whisky brown with a tawny head that evaporates pretty quickly. Sturdy, malty aroma. Solid flavor- hits the tongue and holds on with the malty sweetness while hitting the roof of the mouth with an alcoholic tang.

This just great beer. Malt, Roasted malt and roasted barley you can taste it all. Hops yep enough that this beer as malty as it is does not come across as sweet. You can't taste the alcohol and this beer is not a filling as most of this style so be careful
