Thanks sebletitje for the share. Pours amber with a white head. Nose is sweet malt, earthy grain, and mild sweetness. Flavor is similar with earthy sweetness, and not as much detectable sugars as usual from a Scotch Ale. Some noticeable earth and an overall mild beer.

Time to catch up before BCTC. Bottle at PilsnerPeter’s Spring Throwdown. Thank to everyone who brought great beer and ribs and pickles and everything! Reddish brown. Spicy minty syrupy aroma. Spicy malty brown sugar with fruity syrupy sweet and mild bitter finish. Thick and syrupy.

Thanks to Durhambeer for sending this one my way! Pours a gorgeous deep ruby red with a good thick head and some good lace. The aroma has some cherry, some light smoke, some roasty malt and a whiff of chocolate. The flavor has plenty of good chocolate some nice whisky, a good big malty character without too much sweetness at all, the alcohol is barely noticeable. The palate is velvety and full. This seems just a tad smooth but I really like it none the less.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. The look is hazy, brownish color, and an off white head. The smell is sugary, spices, yeast, and malts. The taste is sweet, malts, bread, and blah.

Location: 22 oz bottle from Greens Discount Beverage - Atlanta (Buford Hwy), 7/13/09

Aroma: Sweet nose, bread, toasted, some dark fruits, pretty nice mix of smells
Appearance: Caramel/orange color, minimal head
Flavor: Tasty and sweet, nice amount of spice, toasty, solid brew
Palate: Smooth and drinkable, a nice amount of body, minimal alcohol kick for a scotch
Overall Impression: A nice scotch, not the typical scotch, but enjoyable. I little too sweet maybe, but it’s a nice sweetness, so I really enjoyed it.
