2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle. Pours a reddish cola brown -- and has carbonation to match, all fizzy and quickly dissipating. Not off to a good start. Aroma is sweet malt with lots of caramel. Flavor is sweet and the malt flavor is rather muddy. Very low hop profile. Didn’t strike me as either a particularly good Scottish ale or bitter. Disappointing, particularly for the cost.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Clear dark brown with an off-white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, caramel and nutty. Flavor is medium sweet and moderate bitter. Dry and moderate bitter finish. Excellent bitter. 251211
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Dark pour, frothy head. Pretty much no aroma. Roasty with a notable chocolate presence. Very mild peat and smoke. Smooth and easy drinking. I enjoyed this.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 11/20
Dark brown pour with ruby highlights and a foamy khaki head. Malty raisin, caramel and toffee aroma with slight fruity notes in the background. Caramel buttery toffee flavor with hints of dark fruit. Bit of a buttery viscous mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Nice ... I prefer a bit more of the caramel/toffee and less of the raisin type malt flavors though.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
This beer pours a very dark red. Aroma of caramel alcohol. Fruity notes of beer with slight caramel and chocolate notes. Toffee flavors as well. Good mouth-feel almost lager style. Could session this beer with ease,
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle/500ml - Pours a clear brown in color with a very small off white head that faded to nothing. Low carbonation. Aroma is malty with hints of caramel and toffee. Flavor is the same, though much lighter than I expected. Slightly sweet. Light lingering maltiness. Great session beer...
