Black Kettle Brewing Co. – Limited Release Scottish Ale Review
Black Kettle Brewing Company is a small microbrewery in North Vancouver and in addition to their staple lineup of beers they have put out a limited release Scottish Ale. This beer appears a deep amber colour and is topped with a very thin finger of head which is finely packed and settles rather quickly. From this head comes a rich toffee aroma with a vanilla like smoothness. The smell is strong and sweet but enticing with its rich and roasted nose. This Scottish Ale has a relatively mild body to it but the flavour starts off roasty and sweet before a vanilla smoothness takes over in the mid section. In the end notes a roasted malt flavour emerges with a slight burnt toffee flavour to give a bitter-sweet and rather enjoyable finish. Overall this beer takes you on a ride with a number of defined flavours each making themselves known one by one. Once you complete this flavour journey you are left reaching for more as it is a very delicious beer.
