On nitro served in a 16oz glass at the Saint Archer brewery tap. I've rarely touched nitro beers with a barge pole following the time I sent back a nitro Old Speckled Hen that tasted like warm dish water. Very occasionally I'll try an Irish Dry Stout as long as it's not Guinness, but I generally try and avoid this method of dispensing.
That said, this was Saint Archer, one of my favourite San Diego breweries who to this point have always delivered. Their Scottish Ale gave an enticing nose of malt and walnuts. Creamy malty flavours then came into play with a hint of cinnamon.
There were nutty nuances throughout the flavour profile with dry toasted almonds and a revival of the malty notes. Light caramel came into the finish with an extra dose of walnuts and butterscotch seeing things out. This beer was understated, smooth to the core and actually quite delicious.
