Brewed by Wynkoop Brewing Company
Style: Scottish Ale
Denver, Colorado USA

From the Jug at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 13/10/2007 Malt aroma. Dark red coloured strong in alcohol and rich on the palate with a slightly dry crisp whisky malt finish.

Draught. Dark amber. Aroma is moderately malty (caramel), lightly hoppy (resin, citrus - grapefruit). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Medium body, creamy texture, soft carbonation.

dark amber, aroma of tea and brown sugar, some pleasant firmness, quite sweet with a little sharp tea tang in the finish

Draft at Wynkoop. Coppery shimmer to this. Nose is malty, caramel, light spice notes and toffee. Taste is malt, fruits, light hops, and caramel. Body is light-medium with relaxed carbonation. Bit of dryness in spots. Finishes with more sweet maltiness, caramel, light hops and fruit notes.

Draught at the brewpub. Clear garnet color with a thin white head that didn’t leave any lace. Light malty caramel aroma accented by a whiff of alcohol. Slightly sweet on the tongue with a touch of roasted malt. Carbonantion was on the low side which was a bonus.

Sample at the brewpub. This beer is a dark brown color with a thin and rocky white head that burns away pretty quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel and candied fruit as well as some malt. Flavors of caramel malt and toffee along with some sweet fruit. The finish is smooth and sweet with a caramel malt aftertaste, along with a touch of hops. Overall this is a unique take on the style, and it is a pretty good beer.

This beer poured with a dramatic cascade from the beer engine. It has a deep copper color with a tight, creamy head. It has a sweet, malty flavor with nice body. Very smooth all the way down.

Sweet,malty, moderate strength Scottish Ale didn't have the impression of alcohol I've taseted in other"strong" Scotch ales
