Poured into a pint glass, the appearance was a clear dark amber color with a lasting off white head. Messy lace.
The aroma had some caramel/toffee, some smoke and then some fruity esters. Light toast at the end.
The flavor blends the malty sweetness to the smoke. All seems to come together to ride on into the aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Moderate carbonation. Smooth on my tongue.
Overall, it’s not bad as a drinkable beer just to have whenever. But as a scottish ale, well, just seems to be alright.

On tap in Dallas, TX. Listed as Ducan’s Export 80 Shilling Scottish Ale. Pours with a dark brown body coverd by a small, light brown ring. Aroma of malts, dark fruits, peet, and something medicinal. Tastee is ultra medicinal with peet and mold. Dry mouthfeel. I am suprised that this beer was served at my table, it was horid and should not have made it into the keg. A major brewing screw-up!
