Dec 22, 2006 750 ml. bottle. Rich, deep browiish red coloring. Inviting brown 1" head. Malty sweet, smoky, licorice-like scent. Similar notes in taste, but with deeper chocolate, molasses flavoring. Body is moderate but not empty and the flavor washes front to back and through the nostrils simultaneously. Some light hops but no sign of bitterness.

Dec 11, 2006 750 from footbalm. Dark brown with a short lived head.. Aroma is just loads of caramel. Some slightly roasted and smoke character. A ton of chocolate and caramel flavor. Smokey bitter finish. Palate is big and chewy. What a terrific beer.

Dec 7, 2006 Wow..what else can I say than wow. This is an amazing beer, and scotch ale isn’t even a style I’ve ever been interested. Well Alesmith has made an awesome beer that is full bodied, loaded with flavor, and is a great beer to drink. This is a must try if you can get your hands on it

Dec 5, 2006 A bottle that I’ve been saving for about 6-8 months, alcohol unnoticable until I got half way through it. Much better flavor than I was expecting, not too sweet at all, there was plenty of dark fruit, but it was balanced out, maybe by alcohol? Some earth to it.. Damn I wish I tryed this sooner, one of my favorites from Alesmith! Great!

Dec 4, 2006 750 ml bottle courtesy of Secret Santa 2006. Pours a grainy dark sandy brown color with a small beige head. Aroma has slightly burnt caramel and toffee as well as dark fruit/dates,roasted malt and hints of faint chocolate and even bourbon !! Flavor is smoky malt and caramel with slight bourbon overtones. Leaves a small tobacco aftertaste. Another excellent concoction from that San Diego brewery. Thanks again Santa !!

Nov 25, 2006 Aroma is better than the taste and texture. Dark brown pour with moderate off-white head. Fruity sweet nose of plum, orange, alcohol and sweet chocolate. The flavor is heavily alcoholic and very sweet with notes of sweet malts, fruit and chocolate milk. Watery texture. Slightly sticky. Warm alcohol finish. Enjoyable.
