Commercial Description:
Full Curl Scotch Ale is brewed in the traditional Wee Heavy Scotch strong ale style. (This is not to be confused with the lighter-bodied Scottish ale style.) All about malt, Full Curl pours dark brown with a tan head. Its medium body provides sustenance while its strength boosts courage. With a stiff mug of Full Curl under your belt, you may even have what it takes to don a kilt.

2009 batch on tap @ MS. Clear brown with a medium tan head. The aroma is roasted malt, caramel and some mild peppery hops. Flavor is mostly sweet rich malt with a light amount of bitterness, which balances it out nicely. Medium body with medium carbonation and a long roasty/smokey finish. Wow has my palate changed, I remember when this came out in the mid 90’s and I thought it was really strong and intense. Still really good but almost a session beer for me now.

This brew pours a nice reddish brown color, clear, with a frothy off white head. The aroma is slightly malty sweet and the flavor is hoppy. Nice brew.

This scotch ale pours a deep cover color from a 22oz bottle. Medium sized tan foamy head. Aroma is malty, caramel a touch bready and sweet. A medium bodied scotch ale. Malts are caramel and fruity, slightly sweet and a touch peaty. Hops are earthy and perhaps a touch floral. Mild carbonation. Nice balance. Lots of malts, a touch of peat and smoke. Nice beer. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Bottle sampled on 9/20/06: Pours a slightly hazy copper amber with a thin, wispy off-white head. Aroma of mildly sweet caramel malt with a hint of peat. Body starts with nice caramel sweetness with good toasty balance and some slightly earthy hops. A pretty good Scottish ale.

Bottle. Pours clear brown with spare rocky light brown head, diminishin, spare lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (bread, cookie, caramel, toffee, nutty), light hops (herbs), average yeast (dough, broth) with notes of butterscotch and brown sugar. Average duration, heavy sweetness, light acidity and bitterness, salty; creamy caramel malt flavor, brown sugar, doughy yeast. Medium bodied, creamy texture, flat carbonation and chalky finish.

This is simply one of the best beers produced in the state of Alaska. Alaska produces some extremely delicious beers, so that is no small compliment.

Tasting at goldtwins 9/20/06 - Aroma of toffee, chocolate and dirty water. Pours mudpuddle with no head or lacing. Flavor matches aroma. Palate is thin. Not a very good scottish ale.
