COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cold Smoke Scotch Ale earned a silver medal in 2002 and a gold medal in the 2007 NABA brewfest. Formulated with Montana grown 2-row barley, northwest Goldings hops, and lotsa love, this hearty ale drinks very smooth. Not bitter at all and not too sweet either. Novice beer drinkers have been known to take a taste and then say, “WOW! That’s not what I expected… that’s GOOD!” A hint of roasted barley lends a slight coffee-like smoky finish. It packs a 6.5% abv punch. Perfect after a day of rippin’ lines on area or your favorite back country getaway. Available in 16 oz aluminum cans. 6.5 % abv (alcohol by volume); 11 IBUs (International Bittering Units)

UPDATED: AUG 15, 2023 Draft at Kamiah Hotel Bar and Grill.Cola brown, beige head, good lacing. Malty nose and flavor. Hint of sweetness with a light hop finish. Tasty enough.
3.3
UPDATED: JUL 6, 2023 Can pours dark brown with a beige head. Aroma is caramel, toast, light smoke. Medium sweet light-medium bitter, not that much pear/smoke. Medium full body. Decent
3.5
UPDATED: MAR 22, 2023 Pours to a still and semi translucent dark brown, blackish. Smells of caramel and smoky malt. Taste follows, mellow and deep and nice. Excellent beer that you can count on
3.6
UPDATED: JUL 3, 2022 16 oz. can from Withey's Health Foods in Kalispell, MT. Pours a clear dark root beer color with a small khaki head and good retention. Spotty lacing. Light smokey malt aroma. The taste follows the nose: Dark malts and sweet toffee flavor with a light smokey finish. Very subtle and mellow for 6.5% ABV. Low carbonation. Medium-light body. Not bitter. Smooth and easy drinking. Pretty good for a cheap, local gas station beer. More of an Irish ale versus Scotch ale, IMHO.

UPDATED: MAY 17, 2022 16oz pour is a murky, cola brown with some grey head. Nose has malt, some sausage, caramel, some rootbeer. Flavor is nicer, earthy and meaty, malt, caramel. Finishes dry. 7 3 8 3 13
