Commercial Description:
Back by popular demand, Scotch Ale is strong, sweet full-bodied ale with malt flavors predominating. The use of roasted barley gives the beer a slight robust flavor to accentuate it's extremely smooth taste. Scotch Ale is rich, malty, and unfiltered.

Dark malty ale with a bit hint of roasted barley. No noticible hop character. Funny off flavor (dirty tap?) Overall a pleasant malty ale.

Dark red to light brown in color thin head. Smell is malts, sweet, peat, and not much else. Taste is plainish, with malts, sweet, and missing.

Clear dark brown, thin lacy head. Roasty, nutty sweet, very good balance. Some cranberry tones in terms of tartness and astringency. Light coffee. Medium mouth. Deftly done, the best beer of the 9 or so they had on tap this go round.

As far as a scotch ale goes, I like mine much more smokey, roasted, malty, dark and sweet. This beer was outstanding in almost none of these catergories. I could barely distinguish this beer from the amber. Reddish brown color that is somewhat hazy and has no lacing. Nose is matly and sweet. Taste is woody, caramel and grapes but very muted. Not impressed but I will say at 7.2 this is very drinkable.

Presented as their Wee Heavy Scotch Ale at the brewpub with a 7.2% ABV. Pours with a hazy amber body and a small off-white head. Peaty and sweet aroma with a taste of peat, caramel and grapes. Watery mouthfeel.

Poured from tap in Grapevine, TX. Produced an ale with a dark golden brown body with light carbonation, topped with a small white head of foam. Little aroma, but could detect some sweetness and malt later in the sitting. This ale had a heavy sweetness to it with a strong roasted malt flavor. The character of the ale developed as it warmed, improving its taste and aroma.
