Laughing Lab has a nourishing maltiness that comes from six specialty malts. Its nutty, roasted flavor is mildly sweet, but not too rich. Smooth and luscious!

This comes out of the tap a rich mahogany brown with a fine-bubbled head. Aroma is strong, spicy, malty, with a hint of hops. Flavor is rich and smooth, with hints of hops, caramel, smoke and cloves; the sweet nicely balances the hop bitterness. It goes down lively and sassy.

12 oz. bottle from Weidert. Drank on 5/20/06. Clear deep dark amber. 1+ cm. light tan head. Creamy, but drops fairly quickly. Nice layer of foam and good lacing. Aroma - some smokey, roasty, peaty malts. Smells great. Flavor - fair amt. of bitterness up front. Smooth and really well balanced in the mouth. Some nice smokey, peaty malty flavors after the swallow. Nothing really strong though, which is great. A little sweet. Palate - light to medium. Smooth and a little bit creamy on the tongue., but the carb. balances that well. Overall - Really good. This is everything my 80/- wants to be. Really well balanced and really drinkable with some nice malty character and good amt. of bitterness to balance it out. Really good session and year round beer.

On tap-Manitou Springs Co.-Poured a ruby red/brown color w/a moderate foamy head. Nutty, malty, roasted aroma. Pleasent sweet flavor w/strong malt presence. Full flavor, long finish. Very refreshing.

One of my definite fav's, though it is misnamed. It's either a really bad Scottish ale or a pretty good amber. I choose to go with the latter. Unlike Beehive, the bottled version is only a small step below the draft. While I lived in Colorado, this was my bev of choice for baseball games, hockey games, social nights out, etc. although I think it might be a bit heavy for the warmer climate here in Florida.

Little head with a slighly sweet aroma. Rich, honey undertones. Slighly hoppy and toasty with a citrusy finish. Full bodied pallate. A fairly complex beer, but reccommended.

Malty and creamy Scottish ale. Tasty. I wish that the ABV was higher. Otherwise a nice brew.
