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.

This bottled brew poured a medium sized head of foamy finely sized mostly lasting light brown colored bubbles excellent sheet lacing. The body contained no visible carbonation, was very hazy semi-opaque and dark brown in color. Its aroma contained notes of nice malty semi-vinous sweet . Its mouth feel is initially very tingly with a lingering tingly palate and a very nice chocolate aftertaste that fades into the finish. Its flavor contained very nice malty sweet mild hop flavorful chocolate brown malty notes and was very tasty. Nicely done! Excellent brew.

Poured with a monster head. A sweet aroma doesn’t tip you to the bready flavor that comes along. A meal in a glass. Good.

Thanks to jsquire for sharing this at his beer tasting. Small tan creamy and smooth head that was mostly lasting, fine-large sized bubbles, sparse lacing, and a copper brown hue. Aroma was alcohol, sweet and some mild caramel. Flavor was malty, sweet and vinuous. Mildly tingly mouthfeel. Medium body. Very quaffable and worth trying.

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.

This was sampled from a bomber bottle I brought back from AK. Deep brownish amber color with a large, foamy tan head that subsided to a strong bead around the edge of the glass. Very inviting nose of red wine and alcohol. I would not have been able to pick this as a scottish ale. Lots of fruitiness up front with apples and cherries with some sweet chocolate in the finish. Very easy drinking beer and very enjoyable for a style I tend not to like very much.

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.

Very red, almost amber. Smells sweet, good body. I can’t believe only 2 other people have rated this. A dominating Scottish Ale, brings back memories of the Big Bossman’s dominance during 80’s WWF.

Dark mahogany brown with a nice-size head that gradually fades to a weather pattern. Rich, malty aroma. Cookies and maple syrup. A touch of oxidation. Rich, malty body. Pretty good.
