COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A bold Scottish ale with a complex malty body derived from roasted and crystal malts balanced with just the right combination of hops. This ale pours a deep ruby color, has a sweet malty nose with layered caramel and roasted notes and a full body. Robust yet smooth, Robert The Bruce is a malt lover’s delight.

Bottle poured into a snifter. This is all about roasty malt. Caramel, chocolate, roasty, aroma. Nice slightly bitter finish, can taste a bit of hops, but very low on the hops for a Floyds brew. Nice beer to enjoy,

Bottle. Pours clear but dark brown, a bit of ruby tint. One or two fingers of khaki head, reduces but never goes completely away. Nose is big on the toffee malt, a bit of smoke, and a hint of milk chocolate as it warms. Tastes a bit smokier (especially in the sinuses), with a slight hop kick complementing the natural spice of the style. Quite good.

Dark caramel pour. Malty aroma with a very slight hop nose. Very smooth. My favorite of this style and my favorite Three Floyd’s so far. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Dark smooth perfection. Tried it cuz of the name and had no idea I’d fall in love. Three floyd’s knows how to make beer.

Date: January 17, 2012 Mode: Bottle Source: Crown Liqour Description: Translucent brown with large amount of head. Aroma is roasted malt, caramel and maybe some chocolate. Taste is similar, but has a touch of spice, splash of alcohol and mild bitter finish. Not a big fan of the style, but this one is tasty and it won’t let you down like with William Wallace.

Bottle. Pours dark mahogany with beige head. Good lacing. Big malty, caramel, chocolate. Taste has a creaminess to it; very smooth. Taste is similar to smell with an emphasis on big caramel roasted malts. Very nice.
