Commercial Description:
Named for a medieval Scottish sword, Claymore Scotch ale is a tribute to the legendary "Wee Heavy" beers of Scotland. A malty, deep-ruby-hued ale, it features a generous amount of caramel sweetness, a reserved hop profile and a subtle warming character, at 7.7% alcohol by volume. Claymore will be available in six-packs and on draft through mid-April.

Bottle. Pours a medium brown with two fingers of sudsy tan head. Aromas are leathery with a little bit of wet rotting wood and molasses. Flavor is obnoxiously sweet... brown, caramelized sugar with leather, cardboard and light peat. Kinda expected more from this...

This is a heavy and syrupy beer. The Claymore has a strong malt flavoring, but also has noticable hops to balance.

Color was dark brown, almost black with a light brown head. Aromas of roasted malt and a little chocolate. Tastes much like a good chocolate bock.
