341ml bottle, day 15 of the 2016 Seasons Greetings holiday mixer from Parallel 49 and Central City - the regular Salty Scot is pretty good, and now mit maple!
This beer pours a clear, medium red-brick amber colour, with two fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat bubbly beige head, which leaves some swooping bobsled run lace around the glass as it lazily recedes.
It smells of gritty and grainy caramel malt, some biscuity saltwater taffy, earthy maple syrup, ephemeral Scottish island smoke, a small dark orchard fruitiness, and some wee cocoa powder chalkiness. The taste is bready and grainy caramel malt, saltine crackers, kind of weak maple tree notes (equally woody and sappy), an indistinct oily nuttiness, subtle bittersweet chocolate notes, very wispy peat-like smoke, and some rather understated leafy and grassy hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly forward in its swirling frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and mostly smooth, just a hint of char marring an otherwise sassy and burgeoning creaminess. It finishes off-dry, the big malt, maple, and other sundry essences doing well not to get all clammy up in my grill.
Overall, this is not really all that different from the regular Salty Scot, as the extra sweetness from the maple adjunct is not strong enough to differentiate itself, as such. Anyways, a nice, heady tipple, with the 15-proof booze a mere whisper on the River Spey in the flowering morn'.
