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.

I’m not always a fan of these belgian interpretations of this style (De Glanzen Toren, for example), but this is quite nice - cloudy copper pour with lasting, substantial lace - wood and vanilla in the nose, with touches of toffee, nuts, over-ripe apples - the flavor has much of the same - a light woody character comes through first, followed by some caramelized brown sugar - caramel/toffee flavors combine with light acidity and fruity esters to create a flavor not unlike a caramel apple - slight bitterness comes out in the finish, keeping the sweetness from overstaying its welcome - not bad at all.

This is the sweetest Scotch ale I have encountered, bar none. The clear copper pour yielded a thick tan, tight-bubbled head. The nose was full of sweet malts — caramel and sugar. But also a hint of rubber. The flavor was like liquid cotton candy — brown sugar, caramel. Hops showed up in the finish presenting a slightly bitter aftertaste. The palate was fizzy and slightly sticky. A moderately long finish.
