i like scottish ales quite a bit, and this one is definitely serviceable, though it doesnt stand out the way say Great Divide’s does. but i could polish off a few of these no problem.

This was a pretty ho-hum beer. Not much aroma. The flavor is just a bit sweet, not very strong, fairly flat really. Overall just not that great.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at Urge in RB/Poway on the Tap Takeover night. They had 25different brews from Ballast Point that day, however i’ve had this one a bunch of times. It’s not my favorite brew they make, but only because this isn’t my favorite style. Malty and thick sweet and nutty. Mouthfeel and overall palate is light, and clears out quickly. Leaves a rather flat malty bitterness lingering.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Poured up on tap at the Chandler, AZ Whole Foods (who knew?) with ruby dark red body and tan head. The aroma has sweet malts, prune infused molasses and sweet Scotch Whiskey notes. The taste has smooth molasses mixed with prunes and then getting both raisin like and infused with Scotch Whiskey. It’s pretty darn smooth and maintains its flavor right into the finish.

From the tap poured a brown color with a fair amount of head. Nice light malty hoppy flavor with a quick finish.
