On cask at Rustico in Alexandria. Served in a snifter. Pour yields a light brownish-red brew with a thin white head that leaves behind a bit of lacing. The nose carries some nice scotch components along with a bit of bready and slightly-sweet malt. Scotch character dominates along with some oak, though it’s fairly mellow. The flavor has a bit of scotch and oak plus some tannins, and is carried throughout by some bready malt. Mild sweetness. Body is fairly light and the oak contributes a nice complexity to it. Not the best-tasting beer, but the nose and feel were pretty good and I enjoyed the experience. Serving type: cask Reviewed on: 03-31-2011
