Nessie's Bullocks
Rutland Beer Works

This was poured into a pint glass at the brewpub. The appearance was a soft semi-transparent rugged dark amber to brown color with a bar pour’s kind of slim white head that quickly dissipated. No lace. The aroma had some soft sweet meat to light smoke, subtle caramel/toffee tones, grassy hops, and then some toast. Light milk chocolate. Then some wood. The flavor dryly leans to the sweet side and grabs the meat and smoke to slide in nicely. Grassy hops make an effort to blend. Subtle meaty/smoky aftertaste with a wet sweet sort of finish. On the palate, this one sat about light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. ABV felt appropriate as the brewer suggests. Overall, not bad as a beer just to drink for fun, but wondering where the "peat" was. Leaves me scratching my beard a little bit, but not bad for what it is, just not a true Scotch ale/wee heavy.
