Can. Deep garnet with an off-white head. Light, nutty malt aroma. The flavor is lightly sweet with a tangy bite on the back end. Not quite a Scottish ale, more in the Brown Ale type in drinking. This needs a bit more malt complexity and body.

same as https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/rivertowne-maxwells-scottish-ale/180693/ Sampled at the Rivertowne on tap in Monroeville 12/2007. A little perfumy, but not much. Slightly cloudy brown. Thin creamy head. Nearly flat on the palate. Earthly and nearly bitter. Perhaps some hints of wet straw in there too. The bitterness build with each sip but never gets too out of control. Overall, an OK and unique beer, glad have had the chance to try it. I think East End old hickory may be a little better than this, but not much.

Light coppery aroma with some lightly sour malt. Pours brown with decent head and lacing. Tangy finish with a bit of tin like braces. Can.

355ml can from Total Wine, Tampa. Acajou au col crémeux blanc-cassé. Arôme est malté, pâle, caramel et Munich, rétro fruité noir assez plaisant avec de fines effluves houblonnées en rétro. Palais reste fort centré sur le malté, pâle, pointe de grillé, léger chocolaté avec un fini sec. Fruité noir, sorte de date et de figue pour une effervescence moyenne voire basse. Pointe de chocolat en poudre sur la fin. Sympa pour juste 5%, le score assez bas de cette bière ne me semble pas vraiment justifié.

12 oz can from trade with mdg164. Pours dark copper color with light tan head. Aromas of caramel and toasted malts. Bready and malty flavor with sweet caramel and some nuts. Medium body with average carbonation. Thanks Marc.

12oz can. Unfiltered brown-amber body. Respectable beige head. Smooth brown malt tones, caramel. Sort of middle of the road, but has some decent malt depth. A touch thin, OK.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a solid cola tint when held up to a light with a half centimetre tall tan head - decent looking. Aroma of pure cereal and funk - this smells exactly like Goya Malta or any other cereal malt beverage - just plain bad. Medium-bodied; Assertive cereal and funky malt flavours at first with nothing else following behind except for some odd sweetness and a hint of pears and other fruit. Aftertaste leaves nothing to be proud of - just some deep malt flavours and a funkiness that persists. Overall, a pretty poor offering, given that there isn’t much flavour and when there is, it’s just bad and not pleasant at all. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Total Wine in Tampa, Florida on 03-January-2014 for US$1.99 sampled at home in Washington on 04-March-2014.
