At the smoke house....this is very sweet. It poured a clear golden with no head and no lace. The scent has faint sweetness. The taste is very sweet with hints of caramel. The Mouthfeel is lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it's ok. Not even close to some of the better scotch ales I've had.

Lots of caramel, not much else in terms of flavor. Balance could be improved.

Pour is light mahogany with excellent clarity and a head which dies down fairly quickly but not completely, leaving a very durable ring and spotty lacing.
Light, sweet and malty for style. Perhaps by design, their best seller.
Near medium body is a tad light.
O: This MacLenny's Scottish Ale was solid, but paled compared to world class versions or even the 3 Floyds Robert the Bruce I had during the same visit.

On tap at the brewery. Pours amber with a short lived white head. Aroma is of green apple, and caramel malt. Body is medium and smooth. Earthy hops, caramel malt and ripe fruit fill the mouth. The finish is long and semidry. Tasty, easy drinking brew.

A: The beer is crystal clear yellowish amber in color and has the slightest hints of visible carbonation. It poured with a thin off white head that left a large patch of bubbles in the center and a thin collar around the edge of the glass.
S: There are light aromas of floral hops in the nose.
T: The taste has a bit of sweetness with flavors of butterscotch and toffee; it gains complexity as the beer warms up.
M: It feels medium-bodied and very smooth on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: The beer seems very malty but is very easy to drink and makes a good accompaniment to food.
