Served on-tap at the brewpub.
A: The Scottish ale is a golden copper color, lighter than a Scotch ale but with a nice heft. The ale isn't translucent, hazed over just a bit. A thin ring of white head sits atop the ale.
S: The nose is malty, loaded with syrupy sweet caramel notes that take hold early and never let go. This is the distinctive maltiness that stands tall throughout the entire drink.
T: Malty goodness. The Scottish ale takes advantage of the excessive caramel malts immediately, turning them into a richly sweet flavors. Any hope for hops or subtler malts is dashed early, this is a malty caramel-focused beer.
M: The ale is sweet but not cloying, plenty of sweetly burnt caramel to go around. I'd call it the least favorite of my flight though.
D: Scottish, not Scotch. (Although a hint of peat would be a welcome addition.) Lots of sweet, syrupy malts to go around. I preferred the hoppier offerings.
