Great Scott, they do make. Big chocolate, carmel, and a hint of roasted nuts. English style hopping, and as far as I could tell, a true to style beer. Cheers to the brewery on this one.

JFGrind (1726) - Glenside, Pennsylvania, USA - JUL 10, 2002
This style was sweet. I had it on draft and it looked great in the glass, but nothing special. Sure, this beer was ’Quaffable’, but just a cookie cutter version of scotch ale that mainstream beer drinkers may find appealling.

Oakes (10941) - Savusavu, FIJI ISLANDS - APR 18, 2002
This dark amber hued 80/- has some biscuity and toasty flavours amid the requisite caramelly and crystal maltiness.

chronictonic (454) - Oreland, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 18, 2002
Dark ruby red in color, whispy head. Again, very plain and bland. Only slightly sweet malt flavor. Maybe in comparison to some of the other really good beers at the Standard Tap, this one just seems overly bland. Might be worth a try in a different atmosphere.

Dickinsonbeer (5075) - Hoboken, New Jersey, USA - MAR 10, 2002
Smooth, malty and sweet, and a low hop presence. Aroma was ok and the palate was good but I guess I am just not a big fan of Scottish Ale. A good beer but not the best from Appalachian.

BillKismet (3024) - Seattle, Washington, USA - DEC 28, 2001
A surprisingly nice, smooth Scottish ale with a pleasing color and a soft, possibly peaty, aroma. Good right from the bottle.

Good beer, much beter on tap at the Brewery than in a bottle

Good roasted flavor with just a hint of sweetness.
