Bottle purchased from the brewery. Took a tour of the facility with the brew master. It was quite impressive! First off glad to see the style on here has been changed. Beautiful clear brown pour with a great off white very fluffy head. The carbonation and color ard bang on for the style. Wonderful aroma of pale malts, caramel, roasted grains and uk hops. The flavor is full bodied and loaded with flavour. Lots of greet caramel malts and a great lingering bitterness that comes through in the finish. This is an outstanding session beer. After seeing the facility this is a high quality beer. Extremely well made with top notch ongredients. A great example of the style.UPDATE: if this beer is found fresh is more than hits the 4 out of 5 i gave it. If not fresh, its hit or miss. This beer does not seem to have much of a shelf life, about 1-2 months MAX. Much less if not kept cold like the majority of the LCBO’s i’ve seen.

This Scottish ale poured a deep red colour with a creamy, light tan coloured head. Nice lacing. Scents include toffee, earth, light toast and a little must. First swig was smooth and flavourful with tastes of malt, light cough drops, a little cardboard and minimal hops. Finish is very malty with light hop flavours lingering. --- Beer merged from original tick of Highlander Scottish Ale on 12 Dec 2012 at 18:14 - Score: Appearance - 4 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 6.5.

Draft - Toffee and some twig. Clearish Amber with a decent white head. Lots of caramel and soft grains with a touch of cocoa. Solid.

Sampled from bottle @ THT November. Clear amber color, small off-white head. Aroma is pretty grainy, don’t get anything else. Tastes very malty and grainy as well with a slight hint of sweetness and nuts. Average body and carbonation. I don’t like it.

Bouteille 500ml. De couleur ambrée-cuivrée et claire. Nez de grains de malt sucré et légèrement rôtis, moyen de caramel, léger de pain, de biscuits et de houblon herbeux aux notes florales ainsi que des traces de noixc et de sucre brun. Moyenne-mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-doux et une texture légèrement crémeuse. Faibles notes fruitées (agrumes, traces de raisins) et accompagné d’un goût de grains de malt très légèrement rôtis lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un moyen goût de caramel, un léger goût de biscuits et des notes de pain. Parallèlement, l’on retrouve une légère amertume de houblon en arrière-goût , d’abord floral puis peu à peu plus herbreux, et ce jusqu’en finale, où l’on y décèle quelques notes de noix asséchantes. Post-goût moyen et aux notes sèches, légèrement amer de houblon floral et herbeux avec des traces de rôti et de noix.

500ml from the LCBO and sometimes called "Highlander Pale Ale" as on their site (right now). Pours a clean copper colour with a warm cap that is frothy, decent lasting and gives out dirty lacing. I really like the smell of this one. Kind of a nutty coffee aroma with some light chocolate and roasted malts. Thin mouthfeel making this one go down easily. The flavours are a bit milder, but still good with some toffee, well-balanced with some nuts and very mild hop arrives in the aftertaste. Hints of dark fruits eventually make it out. I prefer this one not too cold. Quite pleasant overall with some subtle characters.

A nice copper amber ale with a thin creamy compact mocha head. In aroma, decent butterscotch malt and caramel, woody maple. In mouth, a sweet maple and butterscotch malt with faint grassy hops, oily mouthfeel, medium bodied, a tad too sweet but decent. However, this listing should be re-listed under the new name, Scottish Ale...
