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.

Draught sampler at the brewpub. Ruby-copper colour. Sweet nose with a slight smokiness. Nice, full mouthfeel. Interesting sweetness in the flavour - fruity and a bit peaty with a herbal finish. Yeah, I like.

Bottle Sweet and sour aroma with a cloudy body and a thin head, medium bodied, stale ending, starts and ends lightly sour.

A subtle cotton candy sweetness on the initial taste followed by a mild hint of Scotch on the finish makes this a true taste treat. Grab one, if you can. You won’t be disappointed.

Bottle pours reddish golden, small white milkish head, very light carbonation, with spotty lacing.   Aroma of malts, some toffee or caramel, and light smokiness.   Forwardly smokey, slighty peaty/malty, with some semi-sweet character.   Finishes with a slight bitterness, but moreso a malty semi-sweet caramel flavor.   This is a rather easy to drink, non-offensive Scotch Ale.   Slight smokey on the aftertaste.   Fairly tasty this is...

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 tap at Pike in Seattle. Caramelly in color. Aroma was pretty light; with some caramel and peat, but not much. Flavor was smoky, peat, caramel. A bit harsh on the palate, which was a bit detracting. Still it was ok.
