Erie Brewing Ol Red Cease & Desist Scottish Ale

Brewed by Erie Brewing Company
Style: Scotch Ale
Erie, Pennsylvania USA

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.

12oz bottle. I like the alcohol content on this, complements the Scottish ale beers. Aroma is weak with fruit, rye, hops and malt. Dark red poor. Thin bodied flavor of sweet malts. Average quality beer.

On tap at Redlight. Pours a deep reddish brown with a thick creamy head. Fruity citrus malty aroma. Big malt caramel more hints of fruit and very thick tasting. Finishes malty and thick with just a hint of chocolate. Very solid session beer.

12oz. Bottle: Faint aroma of light fruit, light rye, slight malts, slight hops, and some rye. Poured orange in color with a medium-sized, dense, beige, head that diminished but lasted throughout. Clear. Not sparkling. Flavor is lightly sweet and lightly bitter. Tastes of malts, chocolate, slight strawberry, rye, light medicine, and slight molasses. Medium body. Average texture. Average to lively carbonation. Malt and rye finish.

On tap at Red Light. Dark red.pour. Very sweet and malty. Smells a bit like mollasses. Reminded me a bit of candy sugar. Pretty syruppy .

On tap at Redlight. Nice deep red color, thin white head. Sticky hop character backed by sweeter malt notes. Taste is thin, on the bland side, mostly earthy hops and slightly sweet malts. Definitely more of a Scottish to me, and certainly did not taste like 10%. Seems like that should be a mistake.

draft @ redlight redlight. Sweet malty aromas, sweet fruits, with traces of vanilla. It pours a very rich red color with a very thick fluffy white head, a beautiful looking beer! Extremely sweet and malty, sweet caramel, vanilla, traces of spicy hops in the finish. I could use more hops to balance this one out, its good, but a little too sweet for me.
