Innis and Gunn Original (Scotland) 6.6%

Innis and Gunn Original (Scotland) 6.6%

Quite a pleasant and very sweet toffee flavour at first which is an interesting prelude to the oak, peat, and scotch flavours that follow. A truly unique beer, it tastes so much more like the scotch bearing barrels it is aged in than it tastes like a beer. An unforgetable taste that deserves to be savoured.

Pump House Scotch Ale (Canada - New Brunswick - Moncton)

Pump House Scotch Ale (Canada - New Brunswick - Moncton) 4.8%

A dark brown with a slight orange hue in a glass. Chocolate malt aroma with molasses, wood notes and hints of scotch tones of peat and smoke.

Wood, peat and smoke tones - kind of like in scotch (quelle suprise!), especially in the finish. The dark malt gives us molasses flavours very similar to dark molasses candy and a mellow lingering mix of dark chocolate and coffee. Though Pump House Scotch Ale is sweeter than it is bitter the balance is good and a watery mouthfeel keeps it light and refreshing.
