Leviathan Great Scott:
Greetings fellow beer drinkers and non-beer drinkers and, as usual, let’s talk beer.  When I last left Harpoon’s Leviathan line, I had been disappointed by the lack of flavor, creativity, and down right drink- ability of the their Quad but I promised to keep going on with the exploration of the line and today, I continue on with a look at the Great Scott.  This beer, a Wee Heavy Scottish Ale redeems the Godzilla beer with a nice cloudy brown color with a slightly off white head that leaves some lacing and a nose of sweet bread malts and booze.  The beer’s initial taste is very similar to the nose with a noticeable carbonation fizz that does stick around allowing the mid tongue flavors of toffee and vanilla to really become noticeable in addition to the initial flavors.  An aftertaste of heavy malts rolls into a skunk aftertaste that is oddly perplexing since the hops are not really that noticeable.  So Leviathan Great Scott not only redeems the line in my mind and palate but also gets me excited to try the next (and my last *sniff*) bottle of Leviathan.  A nice Scotch Ale, not the best I’ve had all year but pretty darn close.   Enjoy friends.
