Commercial Description:
Volume 6: Traditionally, the Scotch call this beer 90 shilling. At Terrapin, we know it as “90 Shelling.” Magnificently malty, this 90 Shelling Scotch Ale pays tribute to the full bodied ales of Scotland.

Sweet malt, almost like a dubbel. Some home and lightly sweet malt. It doesn’t have a lot to it. Thin on the palate. Dry grain finish.

22oz. Bottle: Aroma of candi sugar, toasted caramel, and slight dark ripe fruit. Poured brown/beep amber in color with a small, dense, tan head that lasted throughout. Clear. Sparkling. Full of tiny particles throughout. Flavor is light to medium sweet. Tastes of malts, toasted caramel, smoke, Bamburg wood, slight vanilla, slight wood, slight peat, and figs. Medium body. Slick, then lightly dry texture. Soft to average carbonation. Malt, peat, and light caramel finish.

Received 22-oz bomber via Sumer 09 Secret Santa. Pours a semi-clear dark brown colored brew with an average sized off-white head. Aroma of toasted biscuity dark malt, peat, a hint of chocolate and some dark pitted fruits. Taste is medium bodied, flavors of toasted caramel malt, some chocolate, peat and some dark fruit. Finish is semi-sweet with a malty and light chocolate aftertaste. Alcohol is well hidden but not as strong as some of the other Scotch ales I’ve tried.

Bottle from GAManiac. Thanks! Aroma is malty and somewhat sweet. Mostly chocolate and sweet dark fruits. Some caramel as well. Pours dark brown with nice reddish undertones and a thin head. The flavor is full of dark fruits, chocolate, and caramel. Smooth drinking, sweet, malt forward, but not cloying.

22oz bottle. Rating #87. The pour was almost black, had a slight glimmer of red just barely peeking through. Aroma is a little light, some caramel, but nothing else I could really pick out. Lots of flavor, big malts, more caramel, but very smooth as well, really nice. 񡹺)
