Moylan's Kilt Lifter

This is a 8.0% ABV Scotch-style ale from Moylan's Brewing Company of Novato, California.  The beer pours a dark chestnut, mahogany brown, with tints of orange and heading towards ruby.  There is a half inch of fizzy, yet somewhat creamy head, very light brown in color.  The aroma is malty, roasted and nutty, caramel, combining with an earthy and fruity yeastiness that blends perfectly with the maltiness.  The taste is deeply rich malt, roasted, toasted, and very nutty.  There is caramel and sweetness, but a nice offsetting tang and dryness from yeast and hops.  This is a flavorful, and exquisitely malt forward, Scotch-style ale.
