Grand Lake Brewing - Plaid Bastard

This one is a good strong scotch ale/wee heavy. Very enjoyable and drinkable with nice flavors. A good example of the style.

Poured with virtually no head, deep amber almost black color. Smoky smell, some fruity notes tucked behind. Smoky taste as well, roasted malts evident, almost chocolatey. Even with no head carbonation is tight though feel is heavy and thick. Good drinkable beer with the alcohol not overpowering along with smokiness not being to overwhelming.

Rating: Good

ABV: 8.0%
