Some smoke, heather. Not much head or lacing, dark brown pour. Some tanginess in the finish, caramel. Cloying tinny finish that a lot of their beers have. Tap at Gettysburg location.

Bottle: Hazy, reddish amber-brown with a very thin beige head. Caramel, berry aroma. Taste is sweet.....toffee malt, a little tangy fruit/berry.....almost sticky. Pretty good, but not much peat or smokiness.

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a clear brown colored body with a nice white filmy head that died immediately before I even took a sip. No lacing was left and no carbonation was seen rising.
The smell had smokey malts up front with some slight hints of coffee and sweet bread in the background.
The taste was dry with the nice light smokiness coming back to add a sweet maltiness.
The palate was light, slightly creamy with nothing harsh on the tongue, sessionable.
Overall, this was pretty good, I’m glad when I picked up the variety pack from ABC that this was in.

Scottish Ale - my favourite ! Rates a rate I guess ... Tap at Appalachian, Collegeville, 29/11/13. Dark mahogony brown with a light tan covering. Nose is dark fruit, Xmas cake, brown sugars, toffee. Taste follows, dark toffee and malty. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, dry closure. So so, as good is usually gets for this non style.
