A roasty scotch ale with a hint of smoke. Full-bodied, but not overpowering. Smokey, but not in a creepy bar kind of way. Sweet, but not obnoxiously so. Sound like your ideal mother-in-law? Fair enough, but it also is a pretty dead-on description of our Scotch Ale. In a difficult hop-growing climate, Scottish brewers relied on other ingredients to impart flavor and bitterness – one such ingredient was smoked malt. Drafty Kilt is a dark, malty bombshell of a beer.

Bottle. Pours clear ruby, small tan head, good lacing. Aroma is caramel, hay, toffee, a bit of bathroom. Flavor is the same (minus the bathroom, thank God), medium sweet and very malty, light grassy bitter. Medium plus body, creamy mouthfeel. Not bad for the style.

Very deep ruby tinged dark brown with a tan head. Sweet malty brown sugar aroma. The flavor is rich, not overly sweet, nutty. I’m not picking up the smoke of which they speak. But this isn’t bad; especially for the malty lovers.

On tap at taco mac. Pours a clear reddish brown with a tan head that lasts throughout the beer. Aroma has a nice dark bread note with a hint of roast and toffee. Flavor is smooth with a dark bread note that has a hint of chocolate, roast and toffee.

10 oz. pour at the Vortex. Pours dark brown with a medium, pillowy, tan head. The aroma is toffee, roasted malts, and notes of oak, peat, and vanilla. The flavor is very sweet, with a little bitterness in the finish. The palate is medium to heavy, grainy, with a clean finish. Overall, this is a very tasty scotch ale.
