355ml bottle. Taste was very malty, with no bitterness at all. The alcohol was noticeable. Mouthfeel was syrupy.

Heavy, thick, syrup sweet beer. Good complexity and balance. I think this is a good brew because of the flavor, is a good representative of scotch ale. A good beer for someone trying this style for the first time. You can taste the 8% alcohol in this beer.

Belle ale brun café, parfaitement limpide couverte d’un col beige assez léger. Présente des arômes de pâte à pain, de fleurs et une finale passablement fruitée avec des notes de cerises. Bière sucrée. De texture assez onctueuse avec une douce effervescence et une fin moyenne, sucrée et arômatique. Définitivement une bière de dégustation...

Caramel, chocolate, brown, medium sweetness, medium bitterness, nothing too special.

Best in class. the benchmark with which I rate all Scotch Ales. Head is frothy and thick, with the density you’d expect from the style. Authentic and chocolatey brown with a red tinge.
First taste cold is still sweet, plenty of burnt toffee, malt, a little fig maybe? Make no mistake, this is a sweeter beer. But it has an unmatched round, roasty flavor and aroma.
The mouthfeel and gravity are both light enough that, despite the sweetness I could drink this all night. Or at least until the 8% caught up with me.
This beer has come to be thought of as a more pedestrian example of the style, but that assessment doesn’t do justice to the wonderful full flavor..
If you’re a fan of Scotch Ales, you should seek this one out to round out your education. This is an everyday, Scotsman’s drinking ale. Less uppity and fancy than many. You’ll be roaming in the gloaming by the end of the night.

pours hazy dark brown with a big and creamy tan head. roasted malts, smoke and some caramel notes. light to medium body, strong carbonation. classic and good, but not spectacular in any ways.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Complex flavor that doesn’t hit all at once. It pours dark, and smells of carmel and spice. Just plain delicious.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Taps. heavy, thick, almost a tobacco smell. Quite thick in the nose. Very strong.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
355ml bottle. pours a very dark brown with a nice, thick beige head. aroma is domainated by sweet malts and alcohol. taste is sweet, with notes of toffee and caramel, some chocolate in there too. body is heavy, and mildly carbonated. a nice feel on the palate. nto a great scotch ale, but not at all a bad one either.
