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."

Pours from bomber dark mahogany with a slight reddish and beige head. Aroma of chocolate malts and a wet forrest. Faint smell of hops in the end. Looks and smells yummy. Definate taste of a rustic euro style beer. Remants of malt, chocolate, hops with a yummy smokey mossy flavor. These Highland beers from my state of NC are impressive. This is a truely flavorful beer to enjoy with good friends and company.

Dark brown/ruby pour with a thin fizzy light tan head. Aroma of pine, chocolate and coffee. Thick, smooth mouthfeel. Taste of chocolate, coffee, a slight nutty/roasted flavor with a nice bitter finish. Another great beer from the folks at Highland.

Trade from Ross. Bomber. Pours a deep brown color with creamy offwhite head. Aroma is a caramel malt, peat, light smoke, faint hop notes. Taste is of rich caramel malt, peat, smoke and light hop notes. A wonderfully done scotch ale.

Bomber from JCB - thanks Jason! Deep reddish brown with a tan head. Rich, sweet, malty nose, some peat and smoke touches. Sweet flavors of malt and peat, smoky wood notes. I liked this Scotch very much because it did not overdo the flavors common to the style. Excellent.

From bomber courtesy of Immy. Pours a super dark mahogany with frothy tan head. Nose is peaty malts and grapes. Flavor follows with a smooth, heavy mouth feel. Very good.

Pleasantly sweet with nice hop balance underneath. Dark reddish-brown pour with small off-white head. Aromas of caramel, malts, peat. Very sweet flavor that reveal some fruits and earthiness. Hops show up at the end. Full body is sticky for a long finish. Comfortable mouthfeel. Reduced carbonation. Very nice.

2006 Bottle: Amber pour with blood red hues on the perimeter of the glass. Very straightfoward notes highlights the beauty of moderately roasted barley. Deep breaths reveal nuts, caramels, pipe tobacco, smokey woods, topsoil and mild hints of peat and alcohol. The carbonation is lush and expansive on the tongue. What I really like about the body is that the expected sweetness is really kept in check. Full bodied, but never cloying. More malt finesse, leading to a nutty, smokey, chocolately, blissfull ending.
