COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Josh's translation of the Spanish description: Ale (top-fermentation) has many followers at the Brewpub Antares, in Mar del Plata. A flashy ruby colour, fruity taste and malt accent are typical of beers in this style. And this is as well – because in Scotland – the place where Scotch Ale was born – the climate is good for barley, but not so friendly for hops. Antares Scotch is a beer with a full body. The alcohol level of 6%abv is virtually unnoticeable. It is recommended that Scotch ales should be served at 10C. This is ideal for drinking alone, or with beef, pork or pizza.

Papsoe (21781) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - OCT 25, 2008
(Bottle 33 cl) Clear amber golden with a dense, off-white head leaving laces. Sweetish caramel in the nose. Surprisingly light-bodied with a little burned caramel and a whiff of cardboard. No bitterness. Rather poor. 200908

omhper (15600) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - DEC 25, 2006
Draught at Gibraltar, Buenos Aires Deep ruby. Aroma of resin and butterscotch. Fairly sweet, caramelly and medum-full bodied. Low on hops, allowing malt to dominate,although despite being mouthfilling the burst of flavour is short. Solid, but somewhat sweet and unrefined.

KimJohansen (10337) - Copenhagen V, DENMARK - SEP 20, 2008

Oakes (9997) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - AUG 11, 2007
Hazy reddish-chestnut. No head. The aroma is toasty with chocolatey accents, earth, nuts. Full body at first, but gets a bit watery late. Watery-ish finish aside, it is mostly chewy. Sweetish flavour carries toasty, earthy malt notes and maybe some vague esters just for fun.

anders37 (9280) - Malmö, SWEDEN - DEC 25, 2004
Bottle. Amber colour. A little burnt malty smell, hints of caramel too. Has a sweet malty taste. The aftertaste is also sweet and a bit heavy from the alcohol. Also a nice bitter aftertaste. A friend brought me this bottle from Argentina. It was a nice surprise.

TBone (9096) - Pori, FINLAND - AUG 31, 2008
Bottled
A bit hazy ruby color, small off-white head. Caramellty, grassy nose. Light, caramelly, butterscotchy and grassy flavor. It is kind of Scotch ale, but not really really enjoyable one.
