sandan_mark - December 18, 2011Damn good dark fireside beers. Easily my favorite from Brooklyn Brewing.
jeremycook30@hotmail.com - December 17, 2011I love Scottish ales. Expecting more of a seasonal though. Not better than Erie railbender ale or twisted kilt but would try again for sure. Very good in it's own right.
gartoncr - December 1, 2011Lots of malt in this one. Dark amber color, with minimal head. Pretty delicious Scottish style ale on the sweet and malty side of things.
txterror618 - August 9, 2011Aroma:
Very light and minerally. Just the faintest edge of wet malt. Strange to say, but it smells like a very faint barley soup.
Appearance:
Bright wood brown with a long lasting just off tan head.
Taste:
Sweet from the first sip. The Maris Otter malt is very apparent, leaving a taste of souped barely. It fades into a slight cola hint aftertaste. Only here is the very light hint if hop earthiness detectable.
Overall:
Not bad. A very light and quaffable beer. Claims to have roots in Scottish ales, but I really don't find the malty sweetness that that description implies. Instead there is more of a grain quality to this. Definitely a good match to a hearty meal, like a good stew or roast.
