Jan 13, 2007 Bottled. Poured a clear, ruddy garnet with a creamy beige head and rising carbonation.. settled down rather quickly. Vibrant aroma of rich, toasted dark fruits, caramel, toffee, and smoky herbs.. the fruit really shines at room temp & has a rum-spiked feel to it. Smoky dark fruits, drawn, toasted caramel, and semi-sweet chocolate and molassess in the flavor department (the chocolate and molassess really rocked!).. complimentary and warm alcohol presence.. mildly bitter herbs and dark sugars at the finish. Soft carbonation and a very full body.. well-rounded and balanced. Fantastic brew!

Jan 12, 2007 aroma raisin, date, chocolate and caramel. taste much the same with some wine characteristics. it finishes a bit chalky which was a downer. not overly scotch ale in my opinion.

Jan 6, 2007 Dark brown pour w/ quickly vanishing head and lace. Cider aromas. Hints of raisans in taste. Nice malt flavor.

Jan 2, 2007 A dark fruit, raisin aroma. The taste is of chocolate, crystal malt, and a slight sherry with a chalky finish. There was a slight lacing to this beer and it drank more like an imperial stout with less of a hop presence.

Jan 2, 2007 Updated: May 24, 2008Pours a hazy amber brown color with a tan head. Aroma is malty, roasty, peat, caramel, and some earthy hops. Flavor is caramel, fruity, peat, roast, and a bitter earthy finish.

Jan 1, 2007 Deep ruby body with a huge, rocky tan head. Aroma of caramely malts and alcohol. Flavor is intense and hop-laden, with the spicy hops complemented by a sweet smokiness. The smoke abounds as the flavor subsides into a roasty, dry finish. A finely crafted Scotch Ale, and by far the best example of the style I have yet to drink.

Dec 29, 2006 Delicious scotch ale here. Beautiful malt-filled nose with a bit of smoke and wood -- and booze. The taste is a bit flat but still quite delicious as said. Most impressive Alesmith offering yet.

Dec 28, 2006 Appears a dark, dense mahogany with a beige head that fades into a small cap and bubbly collar. Spotty lacing is left around the glass.
Smell is of dark chocolate, caramel, vanilla, light smoke, banana flambe, and rum cake.
Taste is of the same aromas with a standout of cocoa.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied, warming, & laden with caramel, vanilla, toffee, and a light smokiness running along the palate.
