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.

The color is rich mahogany. It has very light foam. The citrus aroma is surprising. The flavor is refreshing and delicious.

Bottle. Brown with bubbly white head. Strong malty aroma. Fruity with strong malt and some peatiness in the finish. I liked this, but probably wouldn’t drink more than one at a time.

Bottle. Thanks to friends in Idaho. Poured a dark golden colored. Has an apple cider armoa to it. Has the tatse of apples mixed with a smoke taste. Good beer.

7/20/08 On draught at the Dog & Pony, Renton, Wa. Aroma is grape candy forward followed by caramel malt. Appearance is clear copper with a well maintained white head. Flavor is all sweet malt forward, citrusy, with caramel and medium bittering. Mouthfeel is slightly creamy, medium/full bodied with a medium carb bite and acid tang. Overall, rich and sweet, but never overwhelmingly sweet.

Nice peated malt aroma. Auburn color. Pours with a small head. Clear with small bubbles. Lightly carbonated, (just right!). Peated malt, bready taste with just the right amount of earthy hops.

Sweet caramel nose, noticeable smoky notes. Orange with brown hues and frothy head. Smoky and oaky sweetness, with bitterness cutting at the end. Medium carbonation and body great smooth finish. All around nice Scotch Ale with solid complexity.

Poured amber from 12 ounce bottle. Sweet, winey, nice balance. Minimal head and lacings. A fine tasting brew. Malts are dominant. My first Scottish Ale. Would love to sample on tap. Recommended.

Very big caramel malt body. Slight estery-ness combined with a nice smokey peat nose. Very good beer, a nice style of scotch ale.
