We are grilling today for Christmas eve, err... usando la parrila. All my beers are fridge singles, some better than others.
Antares scotch ale 6%
Super not fresh 11/02/26 best by, so February. I think I got this on a buy 1 get 1 70% deal, so less than 2k, about $1.33.
Tulip glass at the bnb.
Lovely dark caramel or black tea sort of pour. Inch of tan creme head.
Caramel & some dark malts upfront, toffee & gentle spice nose.
Taste is butterscotch with some creme. Background of dark & slightly charred malts, moderate-minus earthy bitterness, lingering burnt caramel that's kinda good. Some faint metallic note on the tail dips the score.
Fizzy, frothy, thin, easy for 6%.
Overall, a nice heavier beer in a sea of cheap Quilmes.

On tap at Antares Palermo, pours a clear dark amber orange with a small beige head. Aroma is quite malty but not sweet or syrupy, with bready malt and toasted caramel. Flavour is rather dull, with bready malt and a hint of toasted caramel. Lacking body, depth and complexity but nothing particularly wrong here.

0.5l bottle, a gift from a work colleague. Thanks Rune! This one pours a mild cloudy looking almost amber golden colored body with a sound making medium sized off-white softly lacing head. It smells mild caramel sweet. Tones of fruita little lager yeast. There's also a bready almost burnt toast thing going on. Smells absolutely decent. It has a nice mild oily texture in the mouth and it's just below average on the carbonation. Tastes good also. Again, soft sweet caramel with bready tones. The lager-ting sticks in the taste as well, but I kinda like it. Hints of hops on the burp. All in all a surprisingly well tasting Scotch ale from Argentina. 18.02.2017

There is a very light aftertaste of oak. Soft carbonation, red colour. Nothing special - unremarkable scotch ale. 500ml bottle in Mar del Plata after hanging around teh Dakar 2012 rally opening.
