Bottled. Pretty darned roast and malty for a low impact beer. A light bit of biscuit as well

12 oz bottle, pours clear dark amber with brief small white head. Light to medium body. Hops and caramel aroma, malty sweet taste upfront then hops bitterness at the finish. Not something to have a second round of.

The ever elusive Scottish ale is mine on this Sunday afternoon. Amber pour with beige head. Nose is butterscotch and fruits. Tastes of caramel, malty, earth, light spice, plums and Capri sun juice box Smooth lower carbonated. Semi swet finish.

Not great for a style I don’t prefer anyway. Pours murky orange without much head or lacing. Kind of acrid, bitter. Some whiskey barrel but not much. Light sweetness. Doesn’t come together super well. Tap at DC Beer festival.

Bottle. Pours clear orange amber with a small beige head that diminishes quickly and leaves some lacing. Aroma is caramel, malt, grass, and a touch of metal. Flavor is the same, plus toffee, perhaps anise, medium sweet and lightly bitter, with a nutty ranging to metallic finish. Medium body.

12oz bottle pours a hazy, deep garnet amber with some thin, white head. Nose of stale malt, a little cedar, some raisin, slightly oxidized, some plum. Flavor is malty, raisin, orange, cardboard, cracker. Medium, dry finish. Not like any scotch ale I’ve had. A bit too weak.

The body is clear deep copper with an ample off-white head. The aroma is earthy and woody with caramel notes. Rich malty flavor.
