Commercial Description:
Step into the Scottish Highlands with this authentic Strong Scotch Ale. A lovely and deep garnet color is joined by the aroma of plums and toffee in this unique and special ale. Brewed with Maris Otter malted barley from Crisp Maltings, Ltd. in England, the rich and full-bodied feel of this beer brings out flavors of caramel and roasted chestnuts, which is balanced with a clean and crisp alcohol finish, and just the right amount of lingering hop bitterness. A real treat!

I had this on a hand pulled tap, which normally makes me ran ka beer a bit higher than it deserves in it’s traditional form... oh well. This was a decent scottish ale, but tasted a bit too antiseptic for my tastes. I prefered the ESB to this, which I was srinking at the same time.. and hand pulled of course.

Pours a transparent dark amber mahogany with a thin, spotty-lacing light tan head. Aroma of lightly sweet dark caramel with some light fruity esters and a hint of earthy peat. Body starts semi-dry and earthy bitter with some faint toasty notes and a touch of peat before a dry finish. Could use some more dark caramely sweetness and smoky character, but still a decent Scotch ale.

Crushed with Jakebra. Nast, poop and scotch on the nose. No balance. Musty flavor. A scotch ale, maybe, but a good one not even close. Drinkablility is not good.

Bottle.<br />Pours a nice, deep shoe polish brown with hefty head of off-white, similar to a Guinness. Aroma is sweet candy, with hints of brown sugar. Aroma takes a total 180, with peat, smoked chocolate, and nut coming to the forefront. Nice mouthfeel. I can’t place it, but there’s something that is keeping this beer from being fantastic.

Light ruby color with small head from bottle. On the thin side and alcohol is very present. Sweet as in dried prunes balance well with a nut flavor.
