Great Dane Scotch Ale 004 : Appearance, Aroma, and Taste
Great Dane Scotch Ale 004 poured out a ruby brown colour with a thin off-white head on top that faded fast to leave a few bubbles around the top.
In terms of aroma, it all seemed to be a bit limp and muted. Some notes of caramel and chocolate were noted, but they were fleeting on the nose. There was an underlying earthiness to it, probably from some EKG hops or something similar, but the aroma lacked staying power on the nose. Thankfully, there were no off aromas notes from this beer.
The body was more of the same really – just a limp flavoured beer really. A touch of caramel here, a smidgen of chocolate there, and a faint edge of earthiness lingering for a fleeting second. Great Dane Scotch Ale 004 didn’t even have much of a body to hang onto – just faded fast and before I knew it, the beer had been drunk.
Beer : The Bottom Line
A limp beer in terms of flavour – better find a beer from this list of scotch ales.
