Bièropholie MacKroken Flower

An amazingly rich and complex scotch ale, possibly one of the best I’ve ever had. A bit strong, with some stinging alcohol and wood flavors, some rich black cherries, plums, brown sugar and a slight lactic quality. Very crisp, though, and very fresh tasting. Rivals the Waling Man Scotch Ale as my favorite from the style.

Bottled at RBESG. Dark brown. Flowery nose. Sweet and caramelly. Roasty with some honey and fruit, near full body and oily mouthfeel. Tarry finish. Warming.

Bottle. Dark brown colour with a off-white head. Sweet light roasted malty light alcoholic aroma and a sweet prun, raisin taste. Medium to full body and a sweet finish.

A red-brown beer with a disappearing off-white head. The aroma is sweet and slightly roasted. The flavor is sweet malty and roasted, but also with some notes of alcohol. Thanks Stephen (tiggmtl) for bringing this to RBESG, since I couldn’t find it when I was in Montreal.

(On bottle at RBESG 2005) Very nice rubyred clour, clear, small white head. mashy sweet with strong notes of Gammel Dansk(rowan-fruit). Strange medical taste, witch just went from bad to worse during the drink.

(Bottle 34,1 cl) Clear chestnut brown with a light brown head. Nose full of lovely roasted malt. Sweetish body yet with rather dry, roasted notes and a marked finishing bitterness for balance. And indeed this is a balanced and harmonious brew. 120805
