12oz can, date stamped "11JAN18 NEED A LITTLE WIND HERE". Beautiful ruby-brown hued ale with a foamy tan head that fades rather quickly. Malty and earthy peat aroma; brown sugar, caramel, and grain in the mix as well. Big and malty as expected with notes of caramel, toasty grain, earthy peat, brown sugar, and more earthiness and some spiciness from the modest hops. Medium body, ample carbonation, very dry finish. Overall, it's a decent Scottish Ale but I can't see myself recommending it or buying it again in the future.

I like this beer. I like an easy to drink beer with flavor and this fits the bill.

Pours the color of dark tea with good carbonation to start, but head dissipates quickly. The taste is good but not enough of everything that makes a Scotch Ale unique. Too thin mouthfeel and lacks maltiness. An average offering, especially when compared to Oskar Blues or Founders; versions that sell for the same price in my region.

Dark amber on the pour with a half-finger of head on the pint glass. Caramelized malts, brown sugar and a touch of grape must on the nose, not much hop character, florals, or smoke to be found. Candied on the finish, moderately thin body.

Attractive deep red color with a mellow malty aroma. Surprisingly crisp taste for being such a malty beer. Fairly dry, very little residual sugar. Mouthfeel is somewhat thin. Overall a decent example of the style, would buy again.
