Brownish in color, light lace and head. Light roasted flavor. Smooth taste. Like lower ABV for the style.

A: Poured a somewhat opaque brown with a hint of amber. Off white head is not very strong and dissipates quickly, limited lacing with no strength grabbing the glass.
S: Weak aroma, really hard to pick much up, slight roast and sweet malt, but very slight.
T: Again very muted, there is a sweetness there with some roast but muted. That said it is very clean on the finish, not really dry but clean. Pretty smooth with some flavor.
F: Pretty light mouthfeel. Carbonation is also limited. Just a touch of cloying sweetness.
O: Okay, so this is no world class Wee Heavy or Scotch Ale, but not a bad brew. Some taste, very clean, smooth and easy to drink. I will call it a decent session scotch ale.
