Three Floyds Robert The Bruce Scottish Ale

Brewed by Three Floyds Brewing Company
Style: Scottish Ale
Munster, Indiana USA

(bottle) Pours dark reddish brown with a light tan head that quickly dissipates to nothing. Aroma is really big on tootsie roll, with a pleasant undercurrent of roasted peanuts alongside it. Further warming displays some toffee and a hint of vanilla. Freshly made peanut brittle as well. Flavors follow suit, with some of that tootsie roll character initially, but this is quickly edged out by the more dominant roasted peanut and caramel flavors. The chocolate returns on the finish, but it’s far more dry here, with a possible hint of smoke as well. Mouthfeel is medium and carbonation is borderline spritzy, but not enough to detract from the palate. This is quite a straightforward and simplistic beer, but it doesn’t need to be anything else, as it’s quite good in its current form, and is sessionable to boot.

bottle: dark brown with a thick frothy white head, chocolate, malty aroma, taste is sweet, fairly malty, dry finish

Really good brew here. Pours a dark ruby/amber. Lots of smokey roasted malts of the nose. Palate has lots of malt presence. So much flavor to this one! Finishes crisp with some lingering malt aftertaste. Really well made. Definitely worth a try.

Bottled at Monks Café Wallingatan, Stockholm. Pours out in a clear dark reddish brown with a rich sticky off-white head. Big fat malty nose of caramel, peat, fusge and dried dark fruits. Nearly full-bodiedn with notes of caramel, milky chocolate, fudge, peat and tobacco. Long fat malty sweet finish offidge, caramel, sweet licorice and peat.

Barn dust on in the aroma, light leather. Flavor has a big chocolate roast malt heart, raisins too. This is a fantastic beer, i can very well see me enjoying this in an irish pub. Three Floyds has won me over again.

Bottle 12oz. - Poured dark mahogany color with thin off white head. Aroma - musty, damp basement mixed with leather and grape blowpop suckers. Flavor - lightly sweet, tastes like grape blowpop and old woodsy oak. Palate - medium bodied beer with slick texture. Carbonation is average and finish is dusty and has little aftertaste. Overall - Awesome Scottish Ale!! I dig this style and this is done very well. Another bonus is this beer is 7.2% ABV. and tastes more like 4%!

12 oz. Bottle. Pours a dark brown, with a slight head that continues to live on the glass. A hearty woody/hoppy aroma. A medium to heavy mouthy feel. A warm, slightly alcoholic finish. Roasted malt is quite evident but balance of hops serves this great offering well.

On tap at the Three Floyds on 7/21/09. Pours beautiful dark amber with frothy head and great lacy. Nice roasty caramel aroma, touch of smoke. Very smooth balanced sweetness of brown sugar with a fantastic finish.
