Scotch-Style Ale

So good it’s almost wrong. Dark ruby in color and brewed with seven varieties of imported malts. Complex in finish, with hints of smoke and peat, paired with a malty richness and a right hook of hop power to give it the bad attitude that a beer named Dirty Bastard has to live up to. Ain’t for the wee lads.

Bottle. Amber-copper color with a light tan head. Really tasty beer. Aroma was caramel, candy corn. Taste is sweet caramel with a slight hoppy finish.

Dark brown pour, long lasting, off-white head. Nose is rich malts, dried fruits, nuts, low booze. Taste is sweet notes of booze, malts, fruity touch, basically pretty much the same as the nose. Medium bodied with soft carbonation and long sweet finish. Simple, but pretty tasty.

Big aroma of sweet breay, doughy malts, soe roasted nuts and touches of smoky peat. Medium mouthfeel, soft, light carb. Medium bitter finish, grassy hops, nd more bold robust malts.

Bottle from Hopt. Aroma is rich malts, caramel, toffee, touch of butterscotch and chocolate. Flavour is medium sweet and moderate bitter. Body is medium to full. Very robust sweet malt-heavy brew with a firm body, well-balanced stuff. Quite satisfactory.

Аромат немного сладкий как от ликера, намек на женную карамель и патоку, возможно легкие леденцы. Цвет темно красный, очень красивый, при этом пены слабая и тонкая. Вкус крепкого пива хоть и без особого алкоголя. Снова патока на первом плане, немного жжености. При глотке приятная хмелевая горчинка, причем весьма продолжительная. При согревание все таки есть алкоголь, но тоже не сильный. Ликерные нотки тоже на месте вместе со сладостью. В целом отличный скотч эль.
