Tasted by a half-pint at this mock brew-pub (i.e. beers are actually not brewed at the premise), served by a tap behind the bar.
A: pale copper in colour, rather murky, coming with an off-white foamy head that settles down to a blanket, on top of moderate carbonation.
S: a very light smokiness, chocolates, red-bean paste, and caramel all approach at once decorated by a faint touch of peat/mud. Not too bad, with a dominating maltiness like a true Scottish Ale, although the maltiness comes less creamy and nutty than the real thing.
T: syrupy as well as biscuity maltiness and caramel lead towards a sweet prune-ish fruitiness and bitter-sweet finish, with very little hoppiness to enjoy. An intriguing touch of dry-ish bitter-sweetness of malts lingers, where very little alcohol makes itself known to the palate.
M&D: the mouthfeel is slightly more fizzy than ideal, but all the more easy-drinking for a 7.2%abv. malty ale. This is yet another interesting product from this micro-brewery, almost like a dark Dutch Bock to me rather than a true Scottish Ale. Where phenolic notes, peatiness and creamy malts are supposed to rule, this ale has little of the sort to show people that it is a serious take on the classic style.
