Claymore Scotch Ale
12oz. bottle into tulip pint. Pours a dark, almost black, brown with deep ruby highlights and a beige head that dissipates quickly. The nose is of roasted and caramel malts, with a very light bitterness. The flavor is of roasted and caramel malts, with a nice boozy bite to the finish. As in the aroma, there is a very slight tannin like bitterness towards the finish. The mouthfeel is a bit over carbonated for my liking, though it does have a pleasant medium body. This was a new style for me, though I am very much looking forward to trying more representations of it in the future.
