beer_name: Cold Smoke Scotch Ale
text: 16 oz can poured into a tulip. A: Very dark brown with a decent white head. S: Sweet caramel and dark roasted malt with a flicker of hops. Also a buttery aroma. T: Plenty of malt, although a little less caramel than the smell would suggest, leaning more heavily on the roasted malt and smoky flavors. Finish is medium length and a slightly dry. M: Medium bodied with ample carbonation. Long time since I've had the pleasure of a Cold Smoke. Compared with a few other top-grade examples within the style, it could have a little more bulk. Nevertheless, a very nice, easy-drinking Scotch ale that is worth a trip to the Kettlehouse taproom if you are lucky enough to find yourself in Missoula.
