Surprisingly good Scottish ale from the cask. Had this with my pulled pork sandwich(which was also good).
Very thin, tan head which dissipated quickly. Light carbonation (because of the cask conditioning?). Deep brown and ruby color.
Not much aroma, just a little maltiness but not unusual for this type.
Good flavor; strong on the malt, toffee, chocolate and brown sugar. Body could have been heavier to suit me.
Good drinking beer, especially with the food.

Muddied reddish borwn color...sticky sweet roasted malts...taste is OK..a little warming heat...some sugared maltiness...no peat though...medium bodied..an OK Scotch lacking special quailities...I wouldn't have a problem drinking one of these with a meal at this place....decent

Appearance: Dark amber body with a small head and good lacing
Smell: Light caramel malts with a touch of floral hops
Taste: Nicely balanced; a solid caramel malt backbone as you would expect from a Scottish Ale, but complemented by a nice, but surprising hoppy bitterness
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with good carbonation
Drinkability: Nice effort; a bit unusual but quite tasty

Served dark brown in color with a thin khaki head clinging to the side of the pint. Light aroma consisted of roasted malt and dark fruit. Mouthfeel was thin to medium bodied with low carbonation. Earthy malt flavor upfront had a pleasant smokiness to it. A fruity / vinous flavor arrives midway through. Hops are used sparingly. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the brewmaster had made an attempt at a Scottish Ale. This was okay, but it just lacked a little "umph" in the flavor to really set it apart.
