Deep amber in colour, ESA while being full bodied avoids the cloying sweetness of is contemporaries and is described by Alan Finch in ‘Beer’ as a masterpiece.
Roasted and Crystal malts create a smooth firm, round bodied, warming beer, with clean delicious malty fruity flavours and lots of depth. Finishes with a hint of liquorice toffee.
Scotch Ale originated in Edinburgh, in the 18th century. Rich full flavoured and fulfilling, Edinburgh Strong Ale is a fascinating fusion of malts with toffee notes and a mellow hop.

[Cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen] A hazy red beer with a small orange head. The aroma is sweet with notes of berries and alcohol. The flavor is sweet again with berries being most dominant, leading to a dry woody end. It has a good body.

(Bottle 50 cl) Comes as "Caledonian Edinburgh Tattoo Strong Ale". Dark amber with a reddish tint, very pretty. Clear and filtered with a small, creamy head. Sweetish with a lovely, full, malty body with notes of caramel and nuts. And as with most Scotch ales there isn’t much bitterness in this. Excellent. 190405
