Parallel 49 Salty Scot Scotch Ale at 7.5% ABV (C$5.79 from Quarry Park Co-Op , 650 ml, no bottle date or best before)
Pours clear deep amber with a short, short-lived light tan head, no lacing. (3/5) Nose is caramel, mild brine, lightly boozy. (6/10) Taste is moderate sweet, mild bitter, mild salt. (6/10) Medium body, low carbonation, fairly abrupt finish. (3/5)
About what I expected – which is to say, something that could easily have come in an I&G bottle. Not disappointing, as such – because I had no heightened expectations. Not unpleasant, and mildly interesting with the salted caramel, but hardly exciting. (12/20)
