Commercial Description:
Our take on the classic everyday Scottish pub ale. Smooth and malty with a faint fruitiness; too easy to drink!

this beer was very good - full flavor, and really nice finish. Poured a deep reddish hue and really drinkable.

Mild and slightly bittered. Nice scottish ale. Better than their Old Herb barleywine by a long shot.

Tap at the Publick House poured into a pint, too cold as usual. Amber color with a medium sized head. Present aroma - roasty, toasty, earthy, just right in the aroma for a scottish ale. Taste however seems a bit empty and weak. Some of that scottish roastiness kicks in at the end. Mild bitterness to round it off with an average mouthfeel.

On tap at the Publick House. Pours mid-copper, with a white rim. Aroma develops in faint brown sugar and smoke. On the tongue, a movement of rich, warm toasted oats, grain sugars, and caramel. Earthy and complex in fruit. Nuanced. Right on for the style. Good levels of malt and yeast characters. However, I can dig only so deep. Nothing really stands out. It’s generally kind of plain, but works well for the style and stays drinkable. Light alcohol and sweetness. Not too shabby.

Very dry and ashy - it had a smokiness to it that was pleasant, but overall, the flavor was unoriginal and somewhat bland. A so-so beer.

Draft at Blind Tiger in NYC. Small tan head that mostly diminished, fine-small sized bubbles, sparse lacing, uncarbonated, transparent, and a copper hue. Malt and caramel nose. Flavor was malty, caramel, scotch and mildly vinuous. Smooth, dry mouthfeel. Light-medium body.

Draught at Hop Devil, NYC
Dark amber color. Light aroma of caramel and very light roasted malt. Caramel taste, with a touch of roasted malt. Not bad, if you are fond of this kind of beers, but too simple for me.
