La Scotch Silly, se classe dans la catégorie des bières qu’un savoir-faire acquis au fil du temps a su élever au-dessus de la mêlée. Sa robe, d’un beau rouge cuivré, est assortie d’une mousse beige. Son nez complexe fait penser à la brioche aux raisins secs, aux fruits confits et à la framboise fraîche. Généreuse et ample en bouche, presque liquoreuse, elle évoque le miel et le caramel avant de s’achever sur des notes de pruneau et de malt torréfié.
Elle laisse en bouche une impression rafraîchissante.

33 cl bottle ordered a while back from Doorstep Brew, sampled on March 31, 2913. BB 29/09/13.Hazy brown color, tan head. Sweet, bread, bisquit, sugary, alcohol scent. The alcohol a bit too evident and overpowers some of the others, dominates too much. Sweet, bread, raisins, lactic, nuts, oily taste. Alcohol is much better hidden in the taste than in the scent, though a warming feeling comes after just a few sips. Smooth mouthfeel, low bitterness.Not one for drinking fast or many in a row, at least not for me and wanting to not get too tipsy, have good flavor, though the scent was too much alcohol indeed.

Aroma is sweet berries, caramel and some toffee. Flavour is also rather sweet with berry notes, caramel, toffee, some raisins and syrupy notes. Too sweet and too much berries here.

Thought i?ve had this one before, but ratebeer says otherwise. So here we are: bottle at home. Brown colour with some ruby redness shining through, small off-white, lasting head. Smells heavily sweet, hazelnut, malts, wood, raisins. Tastes very, very sugary sweet, ?roze kermis zoetstok?, malty, liquorice and some hazelnut. Medium to heavy body, little to no carbo.

Re-rate 9/5/14: Bottle sample at Beer Market Jaffa. Thanks Tom L. Deep reddish amber with a beige head. Sweet aroma of malt, caramel, brown sugar, molasses and dark fruits. Very sweet flavor with caramel, molasses, a bit candy-ish, some dark fruits and a bit of alcohol. Somewhat sticky mouthfeel. Way too sweet. 5/3/5/2/9=2.4

Aroma is between moderate to heavy malty with notes of molasses and caramel. We also find notes of cherry with alcohol sticking out like a port. Appearance: Amber / brown color, lightly cloudy, with long lasting head, very lacy, creamy and light brown color Flavors are heavy sweet with notes of caramel, toffee, cherry and candy cane. It’s like a candy dipped in alcohol. Palate is medium to full body, oily texture, lively carbonation and alcohol finish. A good beer but too sweet for me.

Total Wine, Fairfax 330ml ($4.50): Pours a brown color with a light brown head. Aroma is malts, nuts, and malts. Taste is just absurdly sweet. Now, I have had sweeter beers, but this one ranks up there with them. Drinking this reminds me of why I usually avoid Scotch Ales. The high ratings do indeed somewhat confuse me.

Tasted Blind at a tasting party in Gent
A - tiny head. Fades fast. Dark brown. SRM of 15
S - tropical fruits. Hard to pick out specifics.
T - Insanely sweet. Like drinking syrup. Not a fan. Tobacco and oak. It’s dominated by all sweetness.
M - 70/30 carb. Heavy body. Sugar syrup finish.
O - I’m tasting blind. This is a barley wine? Hard to tell but it bad. 30/100. Too sweet and too heavy.
