Comments
Good Scotch without waiting a decade or longer...
Scotch Rocket is a very dark caramel, not quite black-ish, but dark with a thin beige head which receded to a ring quickly.
Smells of caramel and roasted malt, not a strong aroma.
The taste for this Rocket Republic ale is sweet caramel with a slight char from the roast. Not as boozy as some other Scotch ales I've had, but tastes good.
No kilt required
Brown in my glass with a thin beige head which morphed into a ring. Decent lacing. I sniff caramel and grass in Scotch Rocket. Taste is slightly burnt caramel and very mild hop presence, caramel lingers in the aftertaste.
