Dave's BrewFarm The Bruiser Smoked Scotch Ale
Growler #2
Dave's BrewFarm The Bruiser, Smoked malt Scotch Ale.
Dusky brown appearance, with ruby highlights at the edges, very slim and soon gone head, nothing to speak of.
Aroma: yep, there's the smoked malt, there's the bacon-y feel, no, more like salmon, actually. with dark malt below that.
Tasting it: Bitter hit at first, bracing blast that mellows a bit, all is calm some caramel malt feel comes in. Smoke remains king, however. And it's damned tasty. Also, boozy, …halfway in it's ringing loud and proud. (If I recall, it's about 9%)
Tasting it, delicious. Really, honestly, yum, yum, yum. Smoked malt meets sweet malt, and it all comes together in beautiful harmony. What's in a name? I ain't bruised…yet. Nobody bruised me…lately.
Oh, wait…
