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."

Dark brown color with a very thin head. Aroma is something like sweet oak. The oak stays prominent in the taste and somehow manages to taste both bitter and sweet. Slightly earthy hops. Not bad at all.

This is very good. Sweet and malty aroma. Flavor is sweet with fruit and port wine, as well as lots of malt and a light roasted character. Very heavy palate on this black beer. As good as it is, the flavors and aromas would benefit from more complexity.

Thanks to JK for sharing. Mild scotch nose on a dark brown pour. A thick sweet malty body with subtle scotch flavor.

Very deep brown, thin tan head. Nose is rich malt, caramel, butterscotch, sulfury/peaty notes. Flavor is caramel, light smoke, chocolate. A bit cloying.

black pour that is more brown than black. a lasting coal head. a bit of caramel and sugar nosew/a bit of plastic. wow! oxidized, bad. dust and cardboard cover everything here. burnt yeasty flavor with a sharp oak note. this is a mess. like chewing on an acorn at times. some banana lingers reminds me a bit of canned peas. no bueno.
