Dec. 29, 2015 update: meanwhile, 3 years later, I had a half litre of this at Tiger Tiger in San Diego, and it was just revolting. Starts with a musty, woody, sweet taste and then spirals down into a medicinal, unending bitterness.
Handsome auburn reddish brown in the narrow Crooked Line tulip. Quite adequate foam with nice lacing in the glass. Tangy on the tongue with some spice in the nose.
Warm malt flavors with plenty of mellow roast. Rich without being too sweet. A little bitterness sneaks up to provide a little edge. Hops are stated by the brewery to be both American and English and rated at 39 IBU. This is not particularly bitter, if you think of SN Celebration and other Christmas beers. There are some fruity flavors which give this a sense of the English style, and you could call this a Winter Warmer in that vein. Or maybe it's a California Scottish ale. In any case it's quite drinkable and interesting.
Nice dark and bitterish aftertaste. This must be my favorite Hangar 24 beer. From the 12 oz bottle bought at Bine & Vine in San Diego.

12 ounce bottle poured into a shaker pint
Appearance: nice caramel cloudy color, white, creamy head with lots of tiny bubbles and there is some incredible lacing, each sip creates a ring.
Aroma: there's a smoky peat moss aroma, some roasted aromas, not getting any hops or alcohol on the nose.
Taste: almost like the nose, smoky peat moss flavor, some roasted malt flavors, some hop bitterness a the end, dry roast, smoky, finish that lingers.
Mouthfeel: medium mouthfeel, very creamy.
Overall: not real familiar with Scottish ales, don't really dig the style but I can pick up the quality in the beer, I think it's better than ok, could use a bigger mouthfeel, it has a nice aroma and decent flavor, it's worth a try.
