Dark brown in color with a half inch of creamy brown on top. The aroma is of sweet, biscuity malt. Heavy, soapy lacing is present. I’m tasting sweet, biscuity and bready malt. The mouth is refreshing and somewhat dense.

A-Clear amber, not much carbonation and some lacing.

S-Very malty, some dark fruits, dirt and grass, similar to a bock.

T-rather malty, dark fruits, plums and some grass.

M-Lighter, not much carbonation, on the watery side.

O-The lighter scotch ales always seem to disappoint, a malty mess that is too watery.

Enjoyed at the brewpub in St Louis, reviews from notes.

A: half finger head with nice lacing on a clear amber body.

S: burnt toast, candied citrus, caramel and toffee.

T: brown sugar, roasted malts, breads, rye and caramel

M: medium body and moderate carbonation.

Overall: interesting and nice variability for the style. I could have this one regularly.

like this a lot, id say more of an english pale ale than a scottish, but what the hell do i know right? the pour is white headed and sexy amber, bubbly for a cask dispense, and smelling yummy like english caramel malts, soil, and wood. the flavor is a lot like odells version ten digits higher, its got the same malt profile for sure. i love that this is lower alcohol (somewhere in the 4s), and highly sessionable due to the great cask smooth feel, and fuller body. light on booze, heavy on flavor. touch of spice on the finish, enjoy it a lot, great with the pub fries and spicy ketchup, works for me, especially in the fall.

Happy Birthday Schlafly, served in a snifter. Beer is brown with a haze, lazy thin tan head, no lacing, low carboantion.

Caramel malts in here. Very nice aroma I have to say.

Beer is a little flat, boring, sweet and not much else with a mild grainy aftertaste. Not my favorite beer from Schlafly or my favorite Scottish, I'll avoid this one in the future, smelled good though.

A nice amber-brown color, clear, with a so-so head and some lacing.

Smelled of caramel malts and fruits with a touch of hops in the background.

Taste wise it's pretty good stuff, especially for a style that's been really hit or miss for me. Plenty of caramel malt comes through, along with some graininess and a touch of citrus.

The body is light and slightly slick, quite easy to drink, and somewhat dry. Reminds me of newcastle, only better. Very sessionable.

Pours a clear, amber color. 1/3 inch head of a white color. Great retention and great lacing. Smells of sweet malt, slight yeast, hint of hops, and earthy malt. Fits the style of a Scottish Ale. Mouth feel is smooth and clean with an average carbonation level. Tastes of strong earthy malt, slight sweet malt, slight yeast, and slight hop. Overall, an average scottish ale with a great appearance.

Nuttin’ much better than a good fresh beer on tap – and this is one of them.

Clear caramel brown, topped nicely with a creamy ivory head – sheets laces all the way down. Nose was kinda lite, just some lite malty tones with a pop of cooked bread from the toaster.

Rich bready quaff, still balanced well with a hoppy push, even some woody notes in there. Reminds me of a Vienna lager. Lite to medium bodied, this is a tasty toasted brew – pop one on tap if you can.
