Took me a while to figure out the name of this one, as the waitress just told me Scotch Ale. Had back in May, looked alright, a bit light in color. Flavor was malty but with caramel and a nice thick finish. Decent enough, with a small amount of hops.

Thick legs on the swirl of a deep, copper/mahogany body, topped off with an ecru film. Potent aroma, a little too heady of an affront. Malted sweetness joins in to sweeten the whisky perception. Very thick & creamy. ABV is not as forceful in the flavor which finds smooth caramel maltiness with a touch of peat in the finish. Soothing to be sure.

Had at Barley’s Mini Real Ale Fest 2007! I do so love a scottish ale! YUM! Taste was sweet caramel, malts and slight alcohol. Very drinkable Scottish Ale. Not outstanding, but very good!

Pretty solid beer. Not overly complex at all but a light maltiness to it and some caramel. This was extremely drinkable and went down real fast.

On tap @ the Ale House: Pours a cloudy copper color with an off white head. Aroma, of caramel, some toffee notes, some bready notes. Flavor, some fruits, caramel, spicy hops, and some sweetness, a bit of alcohol. Good, but not really my thing.

From the cask. Not bad, but too definitely too thin which really affected everything else. The pour is a nice dark ruby red--with no head at all. The aroma is a sweet brown sugar and a hint of the alcohol. The flavors are a mix of brown sugar, tea (wort), and a slight hit of hops. The alcohol burns just slightly, but nothing that overpowers you.
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Light red color with almost no head. Aroma of caramel malt. Flavor of caramel malt and tangy hops. Pretty drinkable with some hops in the finish.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
On firkin at alehouse #1 - Pours ruby red with no real head to speak of. Aromas of cherry, caramel, some brown sugar, and a touch of alcohol. Flavor is caramel, cherry, and brown sugar. Palate is medium bodied and a tad to the watery side. Alcohol is covered pretty well until the burn in the finish. Could benefit from a little more body but overall a pretty drinkable brew.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours light ruby with almost no head. Thin watery texture. Light maple, brown sugar taste. Mild aftertaste. Not too impressive.
