Commercial Description:
Our Scotch-style ale, named from Norse mythology, combines the heritage and tartan of our brew team. The roasted barley and chocolate malt lend a bold flavor to this delicious dark beer. Its increased hop level is a modest departure from a true Scotch-style ale. We hope you agree this is a beer worthy of the name Tasgall, "Cauldron of the Gods."

Bomber from Ross a long time ago; Nose of chocolate, caramel, with a smoky hint; clear cherry brown with a small, but glass-lacing straw head; flavor of toffee, smoke, and some roastiness; smooth drinking as I sit here drinking these winter beers on a 108 degrre day (under the AC of course)!

Thanks MikeTD. Dark brown pour, almost no head. Aroma is smokey. Flavor is smoked malt, caramel, toffee, some roasted and chocolate malt. Sweet caramel, butterscotch and biscuits. Easy drinking scotch ale.

220z - Thanks Jay and Jen - Rusty brown, creamy tan head. Peat smoked chocolate nose that fades into notes of caramel, cherry, and toasted toffee brittle. Flavor is a well balanced malt bomb with smokey chocolate and nut flavors that lay on beds of cherry toffee brittle and plum. Full bodied, medium carbonation, rich malty finish. A well crafted brew that’s perfect for mid-winter late night sippin by the fireplace...

22 oz. Nice and roasty, brown with just a bit of red highlights. Flavor is toffee and caramel with some mellow smokiness. 8% masked very nicely.

Poured a dark brown with a off white head. Showed some lacing. Had great hints of caramel, and the alcohol was not masked very well. That did not bother me though. Nice hints of caramel, chocolate, oak , scotch. Finished with a strong sticky alcohol taste on the tongue.
