Bottle from Secret Santa. Dark brown color. Toffee, butter and a hint of banana in the aroma. Caramelly buttery flavor with banana and blackcurrant. Flowery hops. A firm hopbitterness lingers on in the aftertaste. Tannines, alcohol and rubber. Full bodied, thick mouthfeel. Exceptional balance.

Good god what a beer. Man oh man. Brown pour, pretty small head. Aroma is just simply amazing. Caramel, toffee, smokiness, vanilla, wood. Flavor is just complex, smooth and amazing. I get hins of vanilla, caramel, brown sugar, graham crackers. Goodness I really must get more of this. My oh my.

Wee as in consumed by me, myself and I all in a rather Scottish mood. Had this a couple of years before getting another from a good friend so decided it was time to have at it. Nice malt and body with hops still in the play despite a good deal of time for all to oxydize. That last part didn’t seem the least bit detrimental to a beer like this - very appealing and that’s saying something for a guy that tends to lean to the hoppy side a lot. When oh when will I break out the other one?

Bottle shared at recent tasting. Thanks!
Pours a dark amber to maroon color with a nice beige head. Smell is smoky, maybe lightly hopped and nice. Taste is dry, peaty, and caramelly with a bubbly, refreshing mouthfeel. A bit hoppy as well for a scotch ale, but surprisingly still tastes like a scotch ale, and I quite enjoyed it. Usually not a big fan, but this one I could have again.

Bottle thanks to GMCC2181, Thanks brotha! Poured Dark brown in color with nice tan head. Aroma was vanilla, malt, and a slight alcohol smell. Taste oak, vanilla, malt, with slight smoke and alcohol finish. very nice texture, smooth and creamy, goes down very easy.
