COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
McAuslan Scotch Ale is dark ruby red with a tawny head– sweet and malty, with hints of vanilla and butterscotch, and a long hop finish. With 7.2% alcohol, it is the ideal beer to fend off winter chills, but its full flavour makes it a favourite all year round.

After a few years off the market, this scotch ale was reinstated in the McAuslan lineup in late 2005.

Sweet smelling. Auburn, huge head. Malty flavour, sweet after taste. Great mouthfeel, tongue tingle. Really good.

hennes (934) - Fountain, Michigan, USA - MAR 4, 2002

The best of the three McAuslans I had recently, but that miay not be saying much. Aside from some odd cough syrupy notes, its a pleasant enough scotch ale but, well, there are just so many better ones out there!

Gooner (136) - Chatham, Ontario, CANADA - DEC 23, 2001

This is an excellent Scotch Ale. Very similar to Neustadt Scotch Ale. A bit stronger in the alcohol department, and a bit sweeter compared to the Neustadt. I enjoyed this a lot. I will buy it again.

fiulijn (12360) - Malmö, DENMARK - DEC 13, 2001

Cloudy dark amber ale, creamy head. Nice malt aroma, strong malt flavour, like a barley wine, full bodied. Good final.

Rutzicka (102) - SWITZERLAND - OCT 22, 2001

It has a beautiful red-brown colour with a superb creamy head. The aroma is rather discreet, slightly fruity and a little bit medicine-like. The taste is slightly sweet, not unpleasant but a little bit flat. The finish is quite short and frustrating.

Nice dark colour. Malt nose and flavour. Good, true to style Scotch Ale.

Complex, malty, fruity. Nice pint.
