Dit bier is een vreemde eend in de bijt van Brouwerij de Prael. Hoewel een Scotch ale past in de klassieke stijlen van bieren waar wij mee pronken, hebben wij hier een a-typisch draai aan gegeven. Niet alleen de rookmout maar zeker ook het ‘weizenbier- gist’ maken dit bier tot een avontuur.
This beer is something of a rare bird from Brouwerij de Prael. Even though Scotch Ale is a classic style of beer, we’ve given this one a distinctive twist. Brewed with smoked malt and also with our Weizen beer yeast, this beer is a real adventure.

(Draught at De Prael Proeflokaal, Amsterdam, 26 July 2013) Pale amber colour with foamy off-white head. Malty, fruity nose with toast, apricots and spices. A bit hidden. Malty, fruity taste with notes of caramel, toast, orange peel and a balanced spicy bitterness. More than medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Tasty and well balanced. Quite nice.

Aroma: 7/10, Appearance: 3/5, Taste: 7/10, Palate: 3/5, Overall: 13/20, MyTotalScore: 3.3/5
1/VI/13 - 33cl bottle @ post-FortaRock tasting - BB: VIII/2012 (?) (2013-516) Thanks to Tinus for sharing the bottle!
Little cloudy orange to beige beer, irregular creamy yellowish head, little stable, pretty adhesive. Aroma: fruity, bit sweet, peaches, apple sauce, spicy touch, quite some honey, sherry.MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet, honey, pretty oxidized, raisins, bitter hops, citrus. Aftertaste: honey, bit smoky, ashes, bitter hops, sweet malts, spices, gingerbread, bitter ending. Not too bad. Ageing has probably improved the beer.

Bottle from ABC Beers, Den Haag. Poured a murky reddish amber with a frothy white head. The aroma was yeasty and the flavour was pretty much the same, where the Belgian style yeast truly dominated. This is about as "Scotch" as I am. Apart from the rather extreme and odd bitterness on the palate, it was quite drinkable, but I won’t be buying more.

Bottled, BB aug or sept 2013. Clear amber color with small debris, medium frothy off-white head. Aroma is quite spicy, caramel, hint of raisin, slightly burned malts. Taste has some bitterness, bit dry and spicy. Has a soft bite in the end. Weird combination.

Bottle shared with Dutchdrebus. Gusher. Murky opaque reddish color, small to medium sized off-white head. Don’t get much aroma. Taste malts, lightly bitter, also a bit sweet and some fruitiness. Not a very appealing appearance but a decent taste. Decent body, medium carbonation.
