Skull Splitter

5 Feb

Name - Skull Splitter
Country - Scotland
Type - Scotch Ale

Appearance - Pours a dark brown with really no head at all on it.

Smell - Very sweet smells here.  Caramel, apple, cherry, grapes.

Taste - Pretty much right on with the smell.  Has an ever so slight alcohol sting at the end.

I was walking down the aisle at the beer store and this one just stuck out to me.  The red foil on the top and then the really corny viking on the label.  Plus it has an awesome name.  Who wouldn’t want to try something called Skull Splitter.  Plus this was my first Scotch Ale so I wasn’t really sure what to expect.  I was a little heavy and sticky but overall not bad.  I guess I will visit this corny viking from Scotland again someday.

Overall Grade – B-
