Look: It pours hazy brown with a tannish cream colored head. Head retention is very good.
Smell: It has a strong vinous quality up front with some sugary notes. The vinous qualities fairly dominate the aromas.
Taste: It has strong vinous and wine like qualities up front with some caramel notes. It is actually quite sweet are tart.
Feel: Is has a medium body with a tart aftertaste.
Overall: This does not, in my opinion, drink like a Scotch Ale or a Wee Heavy. It does drink like a wild ale.

375 ml bottle from Brewers Haven. Murky amber pour, persistent fluffy off-white foamy head. Tart aroma, oud bruin. Taste brings more tartness, but still some of the malty scotch ale detectable. Despite the label of Scotch ale, it really comes across as a sour, fruity, tart.

375ml bottle. Label has the information of 'BEST BEFORE: 5.11.2028'.
Mostly clear, brown colored body. Fizzy head disappears immediately. No lacing.
Aroma of roasted malt, dark fruit, and caramel.
Taste is wild sour with oak, and has the flavors of caramel malt, chocolate malt, berry and dark fruit. Fruit and oak linger.
Medium mouth feel. Dry finish with a good dose of tooth scraping. Balanced carbonation.
This is a wild ale by fermentation, with the style flavors of caramel and dark fruit for Scotch Ale.
