Watneys Scotch is een Scotch ale, een van oorsprong Schotse biersoort van hoge gisting die sinds de Eerste Wereldoorlog ook in België wordt gebrouwen. Watneys Scotch is een donkerrood bier, waarbij tijdens de degustatie een aroma van karamel naar boven komt, evenals de smaak van rijpe bosvruchten (kersen). Deze sensatie wordt nog geaccentueerd door de smaak van gebrande moutsoorten.

From tap at Domus. Pours dark brown with a small deep orange to amber glare and a slowly collapsing off-white head. Raisin and overripe fruity aroma from the yeast and a roasted dark caramel malt note too. Solid sweet flavoured. Vague metallic note to a rather toffee sweet dark caramel malt flavour mixed with a light fruity touch. Ends with a lasting toffee malt impression.

Tap at “La Brouette” on the Grand Place in Brussels (23 on the beer list; almost all good). Came in a properly labeled thistle glass. Sweet malty aroma (with a hint of sour?). Brown near black color with a good beige tan head. Starts fruity. Moves on to sweet roasted malt. A porter with fruit - no. A "new" Gunnness with fruit - no. Barring an occasional metal note it’s almost light and refreshing. Not at all sticky. That’s it - perhaps a McEwans with all that sticky sweetness removed. It’s quite dry in its way - but the bitter is rather mild. It really is refreshing. Very glad I had it. In memorium de Watneys or something like that. Breweries go away, but labels and recipes move to Stella Artois, or some huge conglomerate or other.

Bottle: Poured a deep clear brown color ale with a good size foamy head with some average retention and no lacing. Aroma consists of nice caramel and toffee malt. Taste is also dominated by some caramel and toffee malt with no peat characteristics that I usually enjoyed in this style and some very weak hops. Not bad overall but just a bit too simplistic.

Small dark beige head over coca-cola coloured beer. Quite fruity nose at first, but fading, leaving traces of dark, roasted malts and vegetable frying oil. Quite sweet taste, with caramel, some faint bitterish-roasted notes. Some molasses seem to float around, the alcohol shows, conveying even more sweetnes. Still fruity, but of doubtful stamina: caramelized strawberries, overripe banana, Japanese plum preserve. Thick, oily to quasi fatty MF, really slick, but I cannot call it rich. In the aftertaste, I get vegetable frying oil again, even more recognisable. Too sweet, too smooth. I just don’t trust it: it oozes, instead of pleasing.

Bottled at Delirium, Gothenburg. Pours ruby, with a small white head. Alcohol, candi, caramel and dried fruits in the aroma. The flavor has fruits, dried fruits and candisugar. Full-bodied and sweet mouthfeel. Long sweet and lightly spiced finish. (060824)

(Bottle 25 cl) Pours a clear, reddish mahogany with a creamy, off-white head. Aroma of roasted malt and....licorice. Fairly full body with plenty of malt - sweet, roasted malt. No real bitterness. A real pleasant winter warmer. 240806

Bottle. Weak, sourish aroma, reminding me of oud bruin. Dark brown colour, very small head. Sweet flavour with some toffee, slightly acidic. Strange, sugary toffee flavour, not my kind of Scotch ale.
