Looks like we've got a new seasonal from MacTarnahan's between the Grifter IPA and the Humbug'r Porter. The Noble Scot pours a hazy blood orange color. Strong carbonation produced about a finger worth of slightly-tan head; drained quickly. Aroma is dominated by huge amounts of caramel, biscuit, toast, and other rich malts. Tons of esters coming through; maybe some strawberry and dark berry. Earthy, herbal noble hop character.
First impression upon taste is that it is incredibly earthy. Ripe berry surrounds a toasty malt flavor. Ends a little bitter with maybe just a little hop spice. A phenolic smokey sweetness lingers in the mouth. Medium body . Medium-strong carbonation.
Not bad and pretty solid for the style. A nice deal for the price.
