| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 11, 2009 Dark brown pour with ruby highlights and a small, off-white head. The aroma smells like gingerbread, molasses, toffee, apples, spice, and light mesquite smoke. The flavor is cherry wood smoke, baked apples, caramel, slight licorice, a little tobacco and just a hint of cocoa. The body is creamy, full, lightly carbonated and hides the big alcohol very well. An awesome cold weather warmer. Bigmmartin (374), Dayton, Ohio, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 8, 2009 Lots of smooth flavors in this one and a nice soft textured body. Flavors of mostly caramel, sweet malts, fruit, form a recognizable scotch ale character. I know some people say this type of scotch ale doesn’t accurately represent the style, but I like it. I prefer it over most scotch ales and it is very similar to the CCB Big Sound. jaymobrown (1360), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 6, 2009 Very enjoyable with some great caramel, malt and roasted nut flavors. Alcohol was noticeable, but in a very good way. Sweet and easy to enjoy. Very great mouthfeel and smooth. joshwilfong (787), Cleveland, Ohio, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 5, 2009 dark brown/black with mild white head. some scotch like notes to the nose with a thick mouthfeel and moderate carbonation. flavor with mild hop contribution before a lot mid lovibond crystal malt before some smoked malt contribution. when colder the smoked aspect comes out and when warming the crystal predominates. a decent brew, the alcohol is well hidden, but not exemplary Jblauvs (595), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 29, 2009 Dark mahogany pour with a pillowy beige head. Caramel malt aroma with hints of cinnamon, some smoke and a touch of woody peat. Flavor is sweet caramel and toffee with hints of burnt sugar, smoke, wood char, peat, a little bit of leafiness. Finish is a little sticky with some sweet wood left over in the mouth. A fine scotch ale, very enjoyable. JAXSON (243), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 29, 2009 Bottle from Hopscotch. Pours a ruddy brown with a red hue and a small beige head. Nose of rich, gooey chocolate and caramel fudge. Amazing likeness there. A touch smoky. Mouth is creamy, rich, full of that slightly smoky, somewhat bitter chocolate fudge and caramel. Much like eating a cake. Some hop bitterness brings up the back end. A tad watery. This is nice, and I’m pleasantly surprised. Thanks man! JaBier (1233), Capital City, Ohio, USA
