The Dirt
The Scotch Ale finds itself in many of the Sam Adams sampler packs, and is a great addition. It has that traditional malty sweetness that is part of a scotch ale, with a small hint of peat. It's one of the most drinkable scotch ales I've had, as some can be too sweet, making it hard to have anything else afterward. The downside to that is the flavor may not be as intense or complex. Pretty solid flavor profile from start to finish, though it does get a little flat at the end as it warms up a bit. Very good beer though, and a good entry to scotch ales if you're a bit weary of trying one.
Worth it?
I rarely buy a 6-pack of a Sam Adams beer for the full list price, as they can be a bit pricey. But they usually go on sale at some point, so grab it then to try. I usually get the Scotch Ale in a mix pack, which is always worth it.
