Review – Scotch Ale from Monday Night Brewing

IMG_4996

I complete the troika of beers from Atlanta’s Monday Night Brewing with Drafty Kilt Scotch Ale.  Personally, I am glad to see a Scotch ale and I saved this one for last because it was the one that I was most excited about.  With my last review of the Eye Patch IPA, I tossed out what I was listening to and reading and I thought I would do that again just for fun.  I have some new Sigur Ros playing on the iTunes and I have a lively and funny Daily Show type of depressing book by Jess Walter on the nightstand called the Financial Lives of the Poets.  Read into those choices what you will.

Here is the review: Nice big pillowy head on this dark cola colored Scotch ale. Smoke on the nose as well as caramel. There is some rauch going on here. A touch of caramel as well. Good fizz to it as well to keep the beer moving and not become too cloying.  I actually get a hint of cherry coke flavor as well.  Nice third wave of flavor.
