Excellent price for a decent wee heavy. No arrogant bastard here but if you’re in the mood for a scottish ale, not a bad choice.

Poured a clear dark copper color, medium head. Aroma of caramel, sugarcane, vanilla, nuts. Light bitter, med lite sweetness. Average carbonation. Finishes off a little weird and week, but overall not bad. Starts off nice. It would be nice to see a bit more kick and warming alcohol in here.

From notes: Growler from Collegeville, PA location. Pours ruby red with a 3-finger, but thin, bone-colored head that left a decent amount of lacing. Caramelly roasted malt aroma, with maybe a note of yeast underneath. Body was a touch on the thin side. Sweet, roasted malt flavor, with biscuity yeast in the finish.

3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Purchased as a 12 oz. bottle from Baruni’s Bar and Hotel in Baden, PA. Pours medium brown with low carbonation and about a quarter inch of foam. Everyone is going to draw comparisons to McEwan’s and in that contest the Jolly Scot can hold his own. A low dose of sugar in the formula means you can drink more than one and not have to worry about splitting your kilt.
