The Belgian-Scotch brewing connection dates to WWI, when thousands of Scotsmen spent years in Belgium. To satisfy the new customers, Belgian brewers learned to brew lighter "Scotch" style ales. This fine Ommegang ale uses heather tips and a wee bit of smoked malt to bring the taste and aroma of Scotland to the forefront. "Malty, full body, dark, slightly smoky, with heather notes. Flavorful and aromatic, with a gentle complexity and easy-going finish."

not one of my favorite styles, but definitely an interesting twist on the scotch ale. a smokebier is the first impression, like something from bamberg, smoked malts, dark fruit, with a belgian yeast strain to knock the edge off. really interesting beer.

Bottled. A hazy dark amber beer with a thin lazing orangey head. The aroma has notes caramel, straw, alcohol, and dusty hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of notes of malt, straw, caramel, and alcohol, leading to a dry and alcoholic finish.

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of Beerlando. Pours a clear, warm amber with a creamy beige head. Sweet malty nose, quite some caramel. Medium body, sweet maltiness and caramel with a distinct smokiness. Also a strange (Belgian??) yeastiness. Quite some brown sugar. No hoppiness to speak of. Not a bad brew though. 290311

Hazy brown color. Chocolate and piney phenolics in the nose, with some menthol yeastiness and phenolics in the flavor, fizzy and sem-dry, with surprising degree of bitterness (out of place) in the finish.

On draft @ Sunset Grill and Tap, Allston, MA. Pours an opaque dark brown with a loose creamy tan head. Sweet molasses, caramel, and dark tree fruits on the nose. Creamy medium body with tight, well-placed mild carb. Molasses, toffee, caramel, and dark tree fruits on the mid palate. Easy finish. Nice for the style.

750mL bottle, pours dark amber. Aroma of caramel malts, sweet dried fruit and Belgian yeast. Flavour differs considerably from what the nose suggests, with smoke way upfront, followed by whiskey, burnt malt, and a slight bubblegum finish. Interesting, but not too invigorating to the palate for me.
