Maker: Arcadia, Battle Creek, Michigan, USA
Style: Scotch Ale
ABV: 8%
Appearance: Dark coffee brown, with a good head with an ivory foam.
Nose: Caramel-chocolate chip brownies
On the palate: Full-bodied. A nice hit of bitter chocolate or maybe full city roast coffee. This is tempered by just the right amount of sweetness, to bring a smile to the drinker’s face, instead of a grimace. Very nicely done.
Parting Words: This is the last of our little run of Michigan-made Scotch ales and it’s nice to be ending on a high note. This is a fine, hearty, porter-esque Scotch ale that works well with food or as a meal in itself. When Arcadia plays to its strengths, British ales, it’s the finest brewery in Michigan. Highly recommended.
