Magnificent Pursuit
Silver City Brewery & Taproom

Excellent ‘big’ Scotch Ale. Velvet mouthfeel. Malty as all get-out, as expected. Dark fruits predominate. Pretty boozy, but in a mellow manner. I’d surely buy another.

Poured into a MacAndrew's thistle glass. Pours a medium to dark orange-red with a quarter finger khaki head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma of plums, raisins, caramel malt, a touch of vanilla and light peat. Flavor is dry caramel malt, plums, raisins, mild whiskey and a touch of peat. Medium bodied with light to moderate creaminess. Another variation on Silver City's Magnificent Scotch ale series. This is most like the Big Magnificent Bastard, but I found this one a little lighter in malt that version. This is a fine wee heavy base with dark fruit flavors and a touch of peat; the whiskey is noticeable, but mellow. Not much barrel oak. Whiskey and Scotch ales go well together and this is a fine domestic barreled brew.
