16oz glass at Beer Revolution - once again, they appear to have snagged a keg that was contract brewed by Wild Rose for the Toad & Turtle chain of pubs south of us up here in Capitol City.
This beer appears a clear, bright medium copper amber colour, with two svelte fingers of puffy, finely foamy, mildly creamy ecru head, which leaves a consistent array of island-ho vista lace around the glass as it gradually recedes.
It smells of biscuity and bready caramel malt, a touch of gritty treacle, subtle free-range ashiness, mild white and black pepper dust, a plain dark orchard fruitiness, and meek earthy and leafy noble hop bitters. The taste is kind of light grainy and gritty caramel malt, sort of smokey toffee, muddled black stone fruit, ethereal earthy yeast, a fading musty dried pepper spice, and more understated leafy and herbal hoppiness.
The bubbles are pretty soft in their gently rendered frothiness, the body an average middleweight, and sort of smooth, as a mealy wet smokiness takes some of the potential luster off. It finishes off-dry, a lingering bready caramel sweetness lazily jousting with the tainted smoke in very Scottish manner.
Overall, a fairly well-constructed attempt at a basic Scottish ale (Wee Heavy? Are you pulling my fucking metaphorical kilt here?). Easy to put back, I would imagine, in the British-themed pubs for which this one was intended.
