Bottle share at Craft Beer Co Clerkenwell. Thanks to Paul. Aroma is salty veg broth. Dark brown coloured pour with a loose cream head. Flavour is chalky, light choc, some soy sauce. Palate is thin and watery. Some mineral.

Tasting at the ever gracious ChrisO’s. Lightly hazy gold beer, tidy off white head. Palate is airy and dry. Fine carbonation. Light tangy dried fruits. Airy floralness. Light dry finish. Fresh air beer, inoffensive.

Bottle @ Chriso May 14 tasting. Not a wee heavy or scotch ale by any stretch. Pours hazy amber, some light citrus, white wine, thin sweetness, light bitterness. A little weak, but alright I guess.

Bottle via trade, shared at Chriso. It pours clear golden with a medium white head. The nose is toasted grain, light sweetness, apple and dull sort of smoke. The taste is crisp, doughy, hay, grain, touch watery, toast, apple and melon. Lightish body and moderate carbonation. A bit tepid. Scotch ale??? I think not. So-so.

TASTE: initial low oxidized hops, followed by medium caramelized malt and low cereal husk. medium-high bitterness. dry and bitter finish with a faint yeasty note. PALATE: medium-light body and crisp. high carbonation. slight astringency. OVERALL: not a cream ale.

Review according to BJCP2008 guidelines (style 13B). Bottle 50 cl - Batch C02-14. AROMA: sweet roasted aromas coffee like. Some metallic and sulphury notes. No esters, hop or DMS aromas noticeable. APPEARANCE: dark color, opaque with a tanned head with no retention. TASTE: nice roasted flavours but unbalanced for a sweet stout. low bitterness and low to very low sweetness. finishes roasty and dry. PALATE: low body with very low carbonation and no residual sweetness. watery. OVERALL: an unbalanced sweet stout towards roasted grains, with a very thin body that should be medium-full to full. Needs more sweetness.

Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 12). Bottle 33 cl - Batch L041-017 (BBF 12/2018). AROMA: medium-low oxidized hops (cheesy), low fruitiness and slight green. APPERANCE: intense gold and clear. medium-high ivory head with good retention. TASTE: medium-low oxidized hops (dried grass), slight pine. low background of slight caramelized malt. low fruitiness (lichiee-like). medium-high bitterness with a dry and bitter finish. PALATE: medium-low body with medium carbonation. OVERALL: an english ipa already showing signs of oxidation but that should be good fresher. demands retasting.

Review according to BJCP2008 guidelines (style 9E). Bottle 50 cl - Batch 003-14. AROMA: strong floral and resinous hop aroma. very low malt aroma for the style. APPEARANCE: light copper color with orange tint. average ivory head with low retention and no lacing for the rated abv. TASTE: strong hop flavour with no malt. strong bitterness that lingers from the beginning to the end. completely the opposite of the advertised style. PALATE: very thin body. no alcohol warmth. low carbonation. OVERALL: strangely, perhaps another case of mislabelling from this brewery as this "Scotch Strong Ale" more resembles a poor IPA...
