Appearance: deep cherry, mahogany, and garnet. Tan head lingers as a thin collar with a smooth bubbly center. Swirls with more bubbles along the edge and a creamy puff in the middle.
Nose: raisins, plums, brown sugars, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Ruby port and cinnabuns. Grapes of the black and purple variety. Hint of musk in the back. Apple pulp, hold the skins.
Palate: plums and grapes first. Sweetness up front followed by pits, seeds, and stems – pomace if you please. Apple skins and core with the sweetness of the apple flesh filling the middle. Nutmeg in the back and breath for a gentle and lightly dry finish. Medium weight. Ruby port skirts the edges and adds a level of sophistication.
Final Thoughts: yum! A well-executed collaboration between three vaunted greats in the craft brewing world. Truly great minds really do create truly great beers as Highway 78 Scotch Ale was savory proof.
