Isle of Skye “Wee Beast” Ale

Isle of Skye Wee Beast AleThis beer chimes in with a medium brown hue, and a striking aroma that is difficult to place – I really can’t place it.  It’s similar to some Scottish ales – slightly sweet, maybe even a bit nutty – but very pungent regardless.  The flavor is mediocre, in my esteem.  It’s a little musty, but lends a sharp flavor with a bit of fruit, and tastes a bit alcohol-y.  It’s a flavor that is difficult to describe, but if you’ve drank a few Scottish Ales, you’ll know what I mean.  Overall, not my favorite of the genre, and probably not one that I’ll buy again.  If you really want to taste something tasty from the folks at Isle Of Skye Brewery, try the “Dark Island” Ale.  Mmm
