Dan reminisces while drinking Rohrbach Brewing Company Scotch Ale, a classic style, as his nineteenth beer from the NYS Craft Beer Box.

Rohrbach Brewing Company Scotch Ale

STYLE: Scotch AleABV: 6.9%IBU: 16SRM: 28AVAILABILITY: 16-Ounce cans, DraftStats above taken from the brewery’s can, website, and Untappd.

Appearance

Ruby/brown in color with a beautiful, tan head.

Aroma

Deep, rich caramel nose.

Taste

Balanced, with a slight edge of the malt, with the caramel and roast/toast continuing.

Mouthfeel

Full mouthfeel, coating the palate.

Overall

I love that a scotch ale is a flagship…this brew was immensely nostalgic for me, as scotch ale/wee heavy used to be in higher demand way back. Pairing-wise, you can go savory or sweet with this; rustic poultry/fowl or even barbecue to caramel-based desserts or pecan pie might be fun.

Cheers and remember:

Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry.
