Tap. Light to moderate malt notes of roasted and caramel, light herbs and cooked orange for the hops, faint dough for the yeast, with hints of brown sugar and wood. Head is average size, frothy, off-white with fair lacing and is moslty diminishing. Color is muddy reddish brown. Flavor starts faintly sweet and lightly acidic, then finishes lightly acidic. Palate is light to medium, watery with a lively carbonation and a lightly drying finish. A well made beer, fits the Scottish Ale style, but flavor just lacks in this type of beer.

Tap at brewpub. Very tasty 3,9% abv ale. I didn’t have many beers of that style but the rich malty flavors, with just distant and loveable sweeter notes, are really surprising. The delicate and delightful floral and peppery hopping seemed very refined. Ouf... Them... Again. God!

On tap at DdC when Andy, Max, Pearl and I took a roadtrip to Montreal and then Vermont. Pours a lightly hazed ruby brown with a thin to medium sized beige head. Soft toast, sweet malt, and light roast. Sweet, caramel and malt. Toast, sweet and smooth. Smooth toast, long soft bitterness and a bit more sweetness on the finish.

On tap at Dieu du Ciel. (Listed as 3.9%). Aroma is appealing caramel candy sweet. Taste is full and surprisingly complex for this mild a beer. Very malty with lotsa Brit hops. I could drink this all day.

on tap at the brewpub. pours brown amber with a nice, thick off white head. leaves lots of lacing. not much going on in the aroma, some light notes of grain and caramel malts. taste is also simple, but delicious and refreshing. very malty, with a slight wooden edge to it. medium body, not much carbonation. a good beer.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a deep ruby color with a medium grey head. A sweet fruity nose, some toast. The flavor is a basic but nice Scottish Ale; sweet dusty dry malts, fruity. Enjoyable. Hefty.

Nearly opaque brown with a lightly opaque light foam head. Aromas and tastes of toasty, rich malt. Finishes absolutely balanced, neither sweet nor dry yet both - a killer session Scot!

On tap at the Brewpub. Opaque brown body with a good, lasting beige foamy/creamy head. Good malty/hoppy taste with caramel and woody hints. Its well balanced hoppy taste carries woody and some roasted cereals notes. Ends with a decent bitter/grainy finish. Enjoyable!

My first beer at the Montreal beer Valhalla. Slight caramel aroma. Good lace, deep reddish amber. Caramel malt focus, very slight roast note, balancing bitterness. No hop flavors. Nice.

A dark reddish copper ale with a thin light moka head. In aroma, a rather earthy fresh grain malt, with dark fruits and bits of butterscotch. In mouth, a nice roasted malts with light earhty malt, with light coffee notes, veering on a brown ale, lighter bodied. On tap at brewpub, Feb. 12 2010.
