LIght caramel in color with a serious off-white head and some good lacing. Aromas of wheat, smoke, and some chalky malts. Sweet at various points on tasting, with a chocolaty finish with some good length on it. Some hop presence, but not much. Dusky, green hops. A little wanting in terms of balance.

Bottle. Clear red with a big off-white head that settles slowly. A sweetish, a bit roasted, malty aroma. Flavor is sweet and malty, and ends with some bitterness and smoke. A light body, pretty watery.

Pours a tawny amber color w/ a shallow, beachball spattered froth that just sits there. Aroma has a sourness amidst a malty backdrop. Medium nectar w/ no residual effers. Totally flat yet creamy. Dry and nutty w/ nuances of leathery nuggat. The finish is bittered perfectly w/ a solid hop component.

On tap. When the bartender first slid this one my way, I had some serious doubts as to his bar tending competency. The glass appeared to nothing but a huge micro-bubbled head without the slightest hint of liquid beer. However, after about 20 seconds, the monstrosity of a head separated into a pretty good 9:1 beer head ratio. Must be nitro. Thick syrupy mouth feel, nutty and sweet. Somewhat muted.

16.9 ounce bottle. This ale pours the color of thickened honey. A nice, thick white head of frothy foam lingers. There is a grassy aroma, with a hint of floral perfume, and a slightly roasted scent. It had a light, nutty flavor. Perhaps it was even a lightly buttered bread flavor. Medium body. A decent beer. It accompanied the wife’s barbecued ribs, which were spectacular. These ribs would have boosted the score of most beers, and they did indeed help improve this Scottish Ale.
