3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Roseville location. Tap. Brewed with Maker’s Mark.
Pour is a clear copper/amber with a thin head that quickly dissipates. Aroma of malt, caramel, light roast and vanilla. Bourbon comes through slightly on the taste. Medium body. Decent and easy to drink.
1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Not much going on here. I could just barely pick up the whiskey, and probably because I was looking for it. A thin Scottish ale with not a lot of flavor or aroma.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 9/20
The whiskey added nothing extra to the standard Scottish ale. The taste was indistinguishable when compared head to head. Still a shallow ale, with carbonation that was very soda like.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tap. Dark copper brown with a fizzy tan head. Molasses oak and very subtle whiskey aroma and taste with a thin watery palate. I want something more robust overall.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Draft at the Kansas City location. Aroma is mild with cardboard and bourbon. Very thin on the mouth. Flavor lacks any real backbone and tastes like an eye dropper full of bourbon put into a glass of water. They really need to beef up the Scottish Ale a bit. Nothing to it and adding the whiskey just messes things up even more.
