COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Laughing Lab has a nourishing maltiness that comes from six specialty malts. Its nutty, roasted flavor is mildly sweet, but not too rich. Smooth and luscious!

Laughing Lab Scoth Ale poured a nice deep amber color with a fan head. The head in the std pint was two fingers and kept a consistent one finger with nice lacing for the duration. The smell was malty with hints of caramel and mocha. The taste was true to style with a sweet malt front, and finishing with a toasted note and just enough hop for balance. The beer had nice body and finished clean. Overall this is a solid Scotch Ale and worth the effort to look for

Bottle. Pours amber with a thin off white head. Clean and sessionable. Malty, nutty and bready, with a touch of toasted grains, followed by a clean malty finish. Solid stuff.

Bottle pour. Really pleasant malty Scottish, I don’t agree with that 58 above, I’d put it at an 80-90 beer. Nice Carmel head that disappears quickly, but nice sweet Carmel taste sticks around. Not much on the hops or alcohol bite, but this was a great display of malt character (and that’s coming from an ipa fan). I would get this again for sure . Great after skiing sort of afternoon beer.

Sampled on 10/4/2012. This Scottish Ale pours a medium brown color from a 12oz bottle. Small sized white foamy head. The aroma is malty, caramel, fruity and sweet. A medium bodied Scottish Ale. The malts are caramel, fruity and sweet. The hops are herbal. Mild carbonation. A little bit of smoke and a touch nutty. But mostly sweet caramel and bready malts. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet

Draft at Falling Rock. Deep red almost brown. Fruity caramel and toasted malt. Flavor is a mildly fruity malt mix with caramel, toffee, and toasted malt. A mild, but enjoyable brew.

Sticky sweet without being cloying. Toffee and caramel, very smooth, maybe a little too thin.
