Deep copper red color. Very nice lacy, rocky head, which stuck around for the whole glass.

Aroma is sweet and malty, with a hint of bitterness. Definitely some diacetyl and candied fruit aromas.

It is a mouth-filling beer, with a lovely malty roundness to it. Decent length, and the malt is not cloying, but it is rich. A bit of hop bitterness present, but just enough to add complexity. Could not drink a lot of this without the sweetness getting to you, but a couple with lunch was very nice.

A special brew for the 2d Annual St. Louis Scottish Games and Cutural Festival.

Dark hazy reddish-copper color with a thick off-white head that sticks to my glass. Bready and caramel aromas, starts sweet and creamy with a hint of caramel, medium bodied, nice full and round mouthfeel, finishes smooth and clean with a lingering sweetness, not bad.

A decent looking Scottish ale that is red amber-bodied and topped by a lovely ivory head and nice lacing. A typical Scottish ale this one tends to be a bit sweet in the start and the finish, but does have a nice light hopping to balance the malt to a substantial degree.

The feel is a bit mild and watery, owing as much, I suspect to the balance as it is to the carbonation and lightness of body. An enjoyable ale nonetheless and one I'd never be fearful of recommending.
