Erie Brewing Ol Red Cease & Desist Scottish Ale

I was happy with this one. I am a fan of scotch ales and this was definitely a strong one just like it says but its a great beer for the winter

On tap at Capones. Pours a deep chestnut amber with a creamy off white head that laced. Aroma was malty sweet, nutty, light citrus, caramel and chocolate. Flavor of a nutty grains, malty sweet, chocolate and a lot of toasted qualities.

Poured a brown color with a medium sized, light tan head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel malts, toast, and a bit of roast. Taste of nutty, grains, some caramel, light citrus, and earthy, with light spices, and some alcohol as well.

Bottle courtesy of myself. Pours a slightly hazy amber with a small off-white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of sweet malt, caramel, earthy hops, and a touch of toasted malt. Taste is the same as aroma with an emphasis on toasted malt. Medium mouthfeel with a mild amount of bitterness and very well hidden alcohol. Very good.

12oz bottle from Sheps Deli (St. Pete, FL). Pours a reddish brown color with thin white head. Aroma is roasted malt, some toast, caramel sweetness, dark ripe fruit. Flavor is malty and sweet with with notes of candy sugar, honey, brown sugar, ripe dark fruit. Generally medium body with a sweet, malty finish.

pours ruby - orange with tan head. Aroma does carry the boozy feel of the beer with notes of dark fruits giving it a sweet almost honey aroma. Taste, caramel malts with abv well present. Some dark fruits as fig, cherry. Finish is syrupy and grainy with light spices and the dark fruits that linger on the palate.

Courtesy of kiefdog and fishingnet. Pours brilliant dark copper with gold edges and thin tan head. The aroma pushes up notes of musty dark fruit and some sweet malts and not too much else. The taste has levels of roasty malts as well as sweet malts moving into dark fruity esters. It gets fully sweet as the finish approaches with sweet malts, sweet raisins, prunes, figs and apricots. Very little sense of the big ABV.

I like this beer, and at 10 percent, that is dangerous. Pours brownsih red with spice, sugar, smoke, caramel, toffee, and rye in the nose. Flavor has fruit with sugar and an almost strawberry sweetness lingering. Finish sticks around and stays a while.
