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!

Strong aroma. Nice thick color. Rich, deep taste. Much richer than other scotch ales I’ve had. It leaves a great coating on my tounge. Leaves me with a good impression. A very quality scotch ale to enjoy in the mid-day.

Had this on New Years eve and crushed a few of them. Look, if you like scotch ales, this beer isn’t really for you. If you’ve never had a scotch ale, it could turn you off from Scotch ales for a while. So, you really should buy this unless a. it’s your only option, or b. you’re a completist/masochjist/beermo/person who enjoys drinking things that don’t taste good. It’s very caramelly sweet, and kind of metallic. I will not ever buy or drink this again.

Pretty dark and a beige head. Metallic smelling and sweet roasty smelling as well. Caramel and fruit in the flavor. SOmewhat sour. Metallic aftertaste. I didn’t really like this beer at all and tried to trade away most of my six-pack.

Maroon brown in color with a beige head that isn’t long lasting at all. Smell is malt and sweet fruit and toffee. Flavor is light malt sweet roastiness. Super soda carbonation - so bubbly it is fizzy. Way too much for me. Overall, the palate killed this one.

Pours dark brownish with a huge foamy bubbly beige head. Smell is an odd malty brightness. Taste is fruity and malty and obviously way overcarbonated. Kind of foams in the mouth and doesn’t have much of a peaty smoky flavor, which I like, but is probably not comepletely right as it is way to foamy in the mouth and bubbly.

Draft @ Brewpub: Very dark amber pour. Aroma and flavor of sweet caramel malts and alcohol. Some roasted nuts. Full-bodied, but not as crisp as I would have liked.
