Allow this ale to warm slightly in your glass to enhance its truly bold character. Sharing is encouraged, as this is one beer that lives up to its name! Hey! No peeking! Slainté!

Murky light brownish red pour,mild head. This may have sat on a shelf for some time. Malt aroma with nuttyness,grainyness very mild light citrus. Kind of hells like or maybe a german malt. Every taste of this reminds me of wisky cant recall if ive ever had scotch but finishes malty with sweetnessand with a mild citrus bittering.With that wisky quality it seems stronger than an 8%er im use to having like a double or something.Never had a beer like this defeniatly differnet. Its like delving into a shot but it doesnt follow through like a shot of course.Slightly boozy but more malt with hints of wisky grainynessand a wet light citrus finish. Not a fan of that aroma and not caring for the initial taste but i like the finish.leaving a malty light citrus bitter.

Pours a copper to brown color. My pour had zero head. Aroma is chocolate, malty, nutty. Taste mirrors aroma with a hint of fruit thrown in. Alcohol is hidden nicely.

Decent scotch ale - Hides the alcohol pretty well. Well rounded - not very complex, but compliments a meal very well

Pours copper with a large, quickly fading head. Nose shows chocolate, bready malt and nutty notes. Pretty moreish. The nutty notes carry through as flavours, as does the bready malt, but little else is noticeable. Watery body is unfortunate.

Interesting amber. Pours a brown color, not much smell. Relatively simple taste, but with a little spicyness. Nice aftertaste. Had on tap. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

On tap at Biero. Great beer, very well balanced. Aromas of caramel, cookie, liquorice, nuts, wood, and hints of butter. Taste is sweet, with bitter notes, and long length. Palate is velvety, almost creamy, and medium bodied. Dark brown, with a frothy head.

Not Scotch Ale as we might typically know it. Lacks the peat and cola and instead has a somewhat weird sour tang that I’m note really works here. Definitely funks with a barnyard character that is tough to place but if they are pushing complexity here I reckon this has gone a little too far. Will pay a few points for something different (haha - could of course be a stuffed bottle).
