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.

Pours a lasting ring of beige head and a brown head with ruby highlights. Aroma of brown sugar, biscuit, and anise. Flavor is brown sugar, biscuit, hint of cocoa and enough hops to add a hint of dryness.

Pours a dark clear brown with thin tanned head. Aroma of roasted caramel malt, dark fruit, some chocolate, molasses. Similar taste, nice roasted, sweet finish. Very enjoyable.

Bottle shared with the guys at the Inglorious Emergency Tasting. Clear dark brown with dark red highlights and minimal ring of light tan head. Nose of earthy, slightest hint of smoke, roasty malt. Flavor is molassis, sweet raisins, and an earthy roastiness. Good scotch ale, that doesn’t have the typical dogfood quality. Another good side project.

Bottle at Liquid Sunshine. Thanks to Cheersmate. Pours medium red-amber with a tan head, spotty lacing. A tight, toffeeish, very fruity example of the style. Solid, but not exceptional.

Good but not great scotch ale. Had this at Nick & Kims engagement party. Would probably go with a standby like Dirty Bastard, but this was still worth drinking.

Bottle: The aroma consists of chocolate, caramel, grapes, and roast. It pours a transparent mahogany with a small off-white head that quickly fades to a thin ring around the edges of the glass. The flavor starts with chocolate and faint molasses. The finish has light grape notes with a hint of roastiness. It’s medium bodied with mild carbonation.

Bottle. Pours a brown color wtih a light head. Aroma is very malt forward. Tons of caramel, salty peat and maybe a hint of light chocolate. Flavor is pretty full...caramel, nuts, roast and overall is really an easy drinking beer.
