Lovley. It’s not a scotch ale, it’s a scotish style ale, ie remenicent of the beer the actualy drink in scotland, and I gota say, I’m shure all will agree that this one clearly had youngers tartan special as the inspiration. Pours a crystal clear rusty coper with a thin whispy white head, and a fizzy carb level. Palat is fizzy and dry, very refreshing. Taste is overall light and simple. Toasty malt makes a dominatny aperance for just a second, quickly folowed by a significant yet not nearly overpowering hit from some bitter hops, folowed by a nutty smoothness. The aftertaste is lightly bitter, very very dry, and lingers for about 2 mins. I like it alot, but I’m shure it will be gone soon. Look at other ratings for this brewpub, rarely more than 2 or 3 before the beer is gone. Get it while it lasts, it’s great. Cheers.

Jan 22, 2008 Strong aroma of peated malt and caramel. Pours a murky brown color with a thin white head. The flavor has luscious smoked and caramel malt, but there’s also an unpleasant feeling that ruins the tasting experience partly. The body is medium with a creamy texture and soft carbonation.

Dec 20, 2005 Hazy pale amber body displays a tiny white ring bearing small lacing. Soft malts procure a well presented leatheryness coming out powdery and expertly earthy. While apple skin nuances attenuate the potential malt sweetness, a developing underlying dryish character kicks in to enhance drinkability greatly. Biting small bubbles, light-medium body. A very pleasant take in which balance is key.

Nov 25, 2005 Verre de 5 oz à la brasserie. Arôme: Légère odeur de fumé. Apparence: La couleur est ambrée rougeâtre avec une faible densité de bulle. Présence d’un très mince col crémeux et d’une fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût de céréales grillées. La durée de l’arrière goût est courte. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture mince. L’effervescence en bouche est faible. (Rating #355)

Nov 20, 2005 (Draught) Pint for $5 at the brewpub on November 20, 2005. Pours a thin, white lasting head with a reddish caramel body. Little carbonation. Nose and flavour is mildly smoked and earthy. Lacking the robust flavours of the Erable and California which were also available - leaving me wanting more depth.
