Bottle. Pours a nice color. Lasting thin lacing. Big malty flavor and finish. A bit metallic and what I find to be a not too flattering roasted, yeasty palate.

I’m a fan of scotch ales and was happy to sample this one. Slightly malty, no overwhelming. This was lighter in flavor and texture, so it wasn’t hard to drink.

Mine was the "drought" version from a can. Maybe that means something as it said it was 5.2% alcohol as compared to the 3.9 this web site claims. If it’s the same stuff, a correction needs to be made. Mine was one of the best smelling brews EVER. I mean EVER!! Like fresh cookie dough and caramel! The ale itself looked like freshly made caramel with a creamy beige head that lasted forever and ever. Very little carbonation on the palate. This was as smooth as silk on the tongue and slid down the throat like melted caramel that was waiting for apples to be dunked in it. Have I used the work caramel too many times? Or not enough? Some smokiness, but not overpowering. The yeasty head floats on top the ale, not in an ice cream scoop manner, but in a veil like consistency. This fills your mouth up with a Dairy Queen double malt feel and leaves a light, yet slightly bitter, after-taste. It makes a thick "glop" sound as you pour more into your glass. It leaves an almost sententious form of lacing. This is not a beer to slam, but one to slowly savor like a quivering clitoris. Very, VERY nice!
