had on tap at Willoughby Brewing Company during the summer
a: deep brown color, almost but not quite black. Frothly 1/4" head. Reduced to medium lacing
s: nut and hops
t: hop bitterness balanced with nut and grain, nothing too exciting
m&d: full body beer with light carbonation. Leaves a dry mouth feel, definatly not a session beer
Better stuff available a Willoughby

I found this beer to be fairly average. There was nothing wrong with it; but nothing really right with it either. In spite of the name I found the color to be appropriate for a Scottish Ale (the advertised varietal). It was a deep copper color with a poor head but nice lacing on the glass.
The taste was a bit hoppy and true to the variety but I kept waiting for something more. The taste was not as forward as I think a Scottish Ale should be and the aftertaste was non existent.
Your time might be better spent with something else from their beer menu.
