Building upon a Scottish "Wee Heavy", this unique beer was developed to provide a strong caramel malt flavour with enough salt to give it a bit of a bite. Stronger in alcohol, this beer starts off sweet but remains fairly light to drink.

Bomber from whole foods. Pours brown with a small head. Heavy aroma of bourbon and caramel. Taste is... Oh wow salted caramel, light metal, light leafiness. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

22oz bottle picked up in Chicago, shared with the Madison crew. Malty, sort of more a Brown Ale than a Scotch. Malty and sweet, very pleasant and easy drinking. Caramel for sure, I don’t get much salt. One of the best Brown Ales I’ve had in some time. Clean, drinkable, all around well done.

Draft - Sweet caramel and salted taffy. Clear copper with a thin white head. Sweet salted caramel, kinda like the cheap caramels for Halloween. Not bad and a bit nutty throughout.

Drought. Dark amber-red with creamy off-white head, sharp caramel aroma, slightly flat and salty cherry-caramel taste, low cArbonation, thin body, sweetish ending. Leaves a just-consumed candy taste in your mouth. Could be better.

Pours deep gold into a thistle. Creamy head quickly recedes to still. Uh oh... this is not a "Scotch ale.. it’s a Scottish ale...". Salty caramel bullseye and candy corn aromas. Sweet, sticky candy corn and hot caramel upfront turning to bitter sour earth in the lasting finish. Yuk...

Rich copper and deep amber coloured body with a thinnish, tan one centimetre tall head. Aroma of nuts, earth, caramel, brown sugar, apples, figs, prunes and a lot of malt - very nice and rich smelling. Medium-bodied; Assertive nutty flavours of pecans and walnuts with a very rich and sweet flavour of caramelised sugars, some light cream and a touch of malt. Aftertaste is all about the caramel, brown sugar and raisin flavours with a great balance of malt, alcohol and nuts - a very well-balanced beer. Overall, a nice beer with a great texture, complexity and depth and I don’t like this style too much, but this is a very good representation of the style. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased at Arrowine in Arlington, Virginia on 02-June-2014 for US$8,99 sampled at home here in Washington.

22oz bottle pours out a hazy caramel color topped with a small sand head. Nose heavy caramel sweetness vanilla and a nice bread malt. Taste is as the nose with the caramel sweetness leading the way along with a nice malt to round out the sweetness.
