Pittock Scotch Ale is deep garnet-red in color, mildly hopped, intensely caramel-malt flavored– with peaty malt overtones. This is the "single malt" of ales. Like its cousin, barleywine, Scotch ale is very strong, and its flavor and aroma go through several transformations during conditioning and aging. A portion of each batch of Pittock is held for extended aging to be blended back into future batches. O.G. 1.085/ 8.5% abv/ Mt. Hood, Willamette, and East Kent Goldings hops/ Nine different malts and rolled oats/ hybrid fermentation (ale yeast, lager temperatures).

Draught at the brewpub; 7.1% ABV
Dark mahogany flavor. Finally after 7 beers with very shy malt, this has a richer malt flavor, some caramel, moderate sweetness; I suppose they used some smoked malt but it’s not evident.
Pleasant, the only one here at the pub that I would drink a pint of.

Sample at the brewpub. This brew pours a dark reddish-amber color with a thin and dense beige head that diminishes slowly. Sheet of lacing on the glass. Strong caramel malt aroma with fruit in the background. Full body with a soft mouthfeel and flavors of sweet malt, caramel, fruit and mild hops. The finish is malty with a peaty/woody character and a sweet aftertaste. Decent overall.
