Merlin's Scottish Pale Ale from Broughton Ales

7.2/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
An amber beer with a good head. It has a very nice friuty aroma. And a fruity, prickling flavor with a nice hoppiness. Of an ale it is a little thin for my taste.

Pale ale with a long lasting head. The beer is more malty than bitter. Overall a watery beer with a slight tinge of bitterness.

Old Jock Ale (Bottle) from Broughton Ales

8.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 9 Flavor 9 Texture 8 Overall 9.5
Rich smoky aroma. Sweet caramel malt and BBQed meats in the nose as well. Something else is in there too, something sweet, like maybe chocolate-covered cherries. Dark red-brown, large creamy stiff head. Good retention. Rich dark malt flavor, light smokiness, earthy hops under all of it. A little chocolate. Extra smooth. Nice balance. Thick sheets of lace.

The beer has a slightly sour aroma, and its flavour is a mixture of sultanas and malt. A more subtle scottish ale compared to the majority of beers brewed in the country. Overall very palatable.
