Claymore Scotch Ale
17 Jun
Name – Claymore Scotch Ale
Country – United States
Type – Scotch Ale
Appearance – Poured a dark brown color with a small white head that disappeared quickly and left no lacing.
Smell – Dark, roasted malts dominate the nose with a slightly nutty hint in there.
Taste – A roasted and almost smokey taste hits up front but has a little sweet backing to it that tastes a little like caramel.
I have been wanting to try this for awhile but the store never seemed to have it out as singles. Finally they had some singles out and I picked a couple up. This had a lot more roasted and smokey taste to it as opposed to Skull Splitter that I reviewed previously. I enjoyed it it but I just didn’t think it was as good as the previously mentioned Wee Heavy.
Overall Grade – C
Like you said, it’s still pretty decent but not up to Skull Splitter or other Wee Heavy beers. I think that I gave it a B or B- when I reviewed it.
