This is my second bottled MacLeod Ale and boy does it hold up just fine away from its normal cask environment.
Jackie Tar the Brown Stout is supremely roasty. It pours an inky dark brown and it delivers a slightly smoked malt bomb to your taste buds. It is light with some watery-mess at the far back but that strong flavor just keeps your attention. It is not a complex beer but it works.
I only wish I could return the bottle to the brewery directly for them to re-use. I almost feel bad recycling.
