Our Scotch-style ale, named from Norse mythology, combines the heritage and tartan of our brew team. The roasted barley and chocolate malt lend a bold flavor to this delicious dark beer. Its increased hop level is a modest departure from a true Scotch-style ale. We hope you agree this is a beer worthy of the name Tasgall, "Cauldron of the Gods."

Milwaukee YEHa!05, one I brought along (thanks for the trade, beeryum!). Dark chocolate-brown body, thin beige/light tan head. Toasty, chocolatey aroma, with definite roasted malt character. Dark fruit appears in the body (cherries, berries?), in addition to heavy toasts, chocolate, and roasted malts. Just the right touch of sweetness, reminding me in some ways of Bells Double Cream Stout (a favorite). A very good Scotch Ale, and it is a departure, but a very good one.

This is dark brown, almost black, as dark as most Porters. Tall creamy head. Sweet rich malty raisiny aroma. Smooth and creamy , with a flavor profile that follows the malty sweetness found in the aroma. A nice brew!
