Appearance: Pulled off the cask by a beer engine creating a creamy thick head on a nice dark red color scottish
Smell: Strong floral notes over a caramel malt, citrus, and yeasty. Much more complex smells than that of the draft scottish ale on tap.
Taste: Creamy light bitterness with a nice caramel maltiness. Heavy with citrus hop mixed in.
Mouth: medium mouth with a lower carbonation than the draft. sweet fruits and tangy acidity make it much less dry than the draft.
Overall: My favorite beer to drink when I was in college. Sad to see that Couer de Alene brewery has closed but am happy that Steam plant is still brewing the recipes, and sometimes has Scottish on Cask.

The Scottish Ale is back in the line-up and now brewed in-house. Served in a standard pint, the beer is brown with bronze highlights. It has just a skim of off-white head.
The ale has an aroma of lightly roasted malts, caramel and brown sugar.
The taste is slightly nutty and sweet. Toasty malts and whole wheat crackers round out the taste.
The mouth has low carbonation and a bit of heft.
All-in-all an enjoyable beer.

Thin bodied and far more clouded than most Scottish ales, though the deep cherry-wood color is familiar and the broad splotchy lace is welcome. The aroma has a dry, fruited quality with a musty, mossy smell that isnt necessarily peat derived. For a beer whose historic design places strong emphasis on maltiness, I noted only a modest malt fruitiness emerging midway between the forward bittering and the dank, musty tail. Yeast character is more abundant than any other property a hallmark of many Coeur dAlene ales.
Brewed with chocolate malts and hopped with Kent Goldings, I found the bittering heavy and dull and the overall drinkability non-compelling.
