I drank a bottle (22 ounces) of Gritty's Scottish Style Ale last night and enjoyed it. It lives up to the "hearty" description on the label. It is strong--6.3% ABV--and fullbodied. The color is deep copper and the taste is malt, after a bit of a sweet "nose" initially.
The bottle also claims that it is not overwhelming, and I agree. Here's the problem: I want to be overwhelmed. This is a seasonal brew, I'd like the brewer to take a risk. Display some cojones. Brew a beer that stands up to Haggis. They've played it a bit safe with this one--it's as if they were wearing panties under their kilts.
