Appalachian Jolly Scot Scottish Ale

Draft at the Gettysburg location, July 2006. A dark amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with light notes fo alcohol and caramel. The flavor is sweet with light notes of caramel and berries, leading to a dry end, that also has light notes of metal and alcohol.

This dark amber hued 80/- has some biscuity and toasty flavours amid the requisite caramelly and crystal maltiness.

Pours a transparent mahogany brown with a spotty-lacing off-white head. Aroma of semi-sweet toasty dark caramel malts with a touch of peat and light fruits. Body is a little thinner with some mild sweetness and a touch of lemony tartness before a slightly drier toasty finish. A decent and fairly true to style Scottish ale.

On tap at the 2004 Kennett Square BF. Poured a medium amber color with no head. Sweet aroma and tastes. Caramel and toffee.
