Commercial Description:
This full bodied and malty ale is made from the finest British barley malt. We carmelize the malt at the end of the mashing process and add Northdown Hops to make this a very wonderful and complex ale.

A powerful scotch ale with a deep copper color and thin head. It has a medium body and a slight sweetness that helps fight off a strong alcohol taste. A good beer -- I get it whenever it is available.

Of a series of Scotch ales. This wee eavy is lighter, carmel, peat, orange colour and some lace. Some carmel and peat in there. A hint of the orange taste. I liked this because of the peatiness.

Sample @ the brewpub (No. 1): Pours a caramel brown with thin head. Aroma is toasted caramel malts and alcohol. Akin to their scottish ale, this is like adding half as many more malts, a tinge more sugar, and a lot more alcohol. Just mildly bitter.

On cask at the Alehouse. Pours a deep cloudy ruby color with a nice compact foamy white head on top. Super malty aroma. Deep, thick barley, sweet caramel. Just like their other Scotch ale this smells like sticking your face in a mash tun. Taste is smooth, thick, with sweet, bready malts, low bitterness, full bodied though drinkable. The cask does nice things to this beer. A very good beer. Barley’s really knows how to do Scottish/British styles well.
