Kilt Lifter Scottish Style Ale
12oz bottle, Sam Adams glass, my bottle notes 6% abv. Copper brown, the red and orange tones are restrained. At first a nice white cap formed, but it was gone in a heartbeat. Aromas of toffee, blunt caramel, dates, and bitter alcohol. Malty but not sweet; toffee rather than caramel. Dates show up again, as does the bitter alcohol. A little tinniness shows up down the stretch. Very thin body with a lot of carbonation. This is pretty inoffensive, it seems accessible to non-beer geeks. There could be a lot more going on with the style, and even with this beer. It seems like they used plenty of malt but it just didn't shape up.
