Scotch Ale poured a clear, dark copper color with a two fingered, off white head.  The aroma is dominated by malt with a little caramel.  The body is big, sweet with heaps of malt and plenty of caramel.  The finish is sticky, leaving a bready dryness that compliments the body well.  Overall, this is a very good beer, one of New Yorks best kept secrets.  It is well balanced, offers plenty of flavor, and a really nice alcohol warmth on the finish.  It might be a little thin for some but I love this beer and it is the best thing to come out of Rochester since the garbage plate.

The ultimate resource for beer drinkers!
