Very roasty, coffee, burnt sugar, good caramel malts. The flavor was quite sweet, but the bitter roast balanced it out. The finish was light, and a little on the sweet side. Really more of a roasty brown ale, the bready sweet malts seem to be missing,

Taster at the brewery. Black Watch Scotch Ale 5% Deep mahogany brown with a thick creamy beige head, probably on nitro. A good depth of nutty toffee maple. Smooth bodied and quite full. True taste is coffee, nuts and a bit of sweetness. Good.

A little trashy. Pours brown with ok head and not much lace. Taste kind of bad, like mixed malt with some attempted roast that didn’t turn out right. Taste is basically sour but light and impotent overall. Bottle slanged walking down the street between bars.

Pours a dark copper colour with a thick frothy beige head. Retention is great and lacing covers the glass. Starts off with a fresh coffee scent and added is butterscotch and some light fruits (dates, plums, apples). Slick mouthfeel with a medium-light body. Taste of roasted malts, giving the coffee notes, with mild caramel and hints of hops in the short finish. Not sure what style this beer "really" is, but I kind of like it.
