Real Ale Real Heavy Ale

On tap at Flying Saucer. Has a dark amber color with a medium frothy light tan head. The aroma is a sweet malt and raisin. Decent lacing on the glass. The taste is a rich malt with a dark fruit finish. A very easy to drink scotch ale that hides the alcohol well. Really enjoyed this one.

Pours a dark brown red. Nice thick white head. The nose carried with it notes of dark caramelized fruits. The taste is what you would expect from the nose a very sweet flavor of dark fruits, maybe plumbs. The alcohol is well hidden this beer, it is one I will need to be careful because it goes down so easy.

Draft at Draught House. Tasted of sweet caramel and sugar. I found it enjoyable, maybe it would be more so during the cold months. I couldn’t taste any alcohol but I felt it afterwards.

draft at Flying Saucer while waiting for KAggie to show up. Pours a dark amber/copper color with a reddish tint. White head. Couldn’t pick up much smell at first because they served it cold in a cold glass. After warming some, the scent became more apparent. Aroma of sweet caramel malt, some dark fruit and hint of alcohol. Taste was of same dark fruit and sweet caramel malt. Mouthfeel was medium-to-thick and a little sticky with alcohol well hidden. Although it didn’t have an alcohol feel in the mouth, I sure felt the buzz afterwards. Not a bad first attempt at a Scotch Ale by Real Ale.

Tap at Flying Saucer, suffered through with that danged t-sip Zinister. Pours a deep amber with a nice off-white head. Aroma is a curious blend of banana, suigar, and bubblegum... um, is this a weizen or a Scotch Ale??? Flavor is Autumn leaves, stale sugar-coated malt, and a slight hint of peat in the finish. Thick palate. Good, but by no means great; I’m looking for more peat in the finish. Perhapsh the next batch (the sophomore effort) will be better? I"m expecting nothing less. Stay tuned.
