Bottle. Very surprised at how good this was considering the cheap price. Nice notes of malt, chocolate and some dried fruit.

12 oz. - The Wine Source. Dark brown, tan creamy head. Soft buttery cherry tobacco aromas warm to lighter swirls of toffee malt and molasses. Dried plum and cherry flavors round with hints of a sweet caramel butter. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dried dark fruit finish. Decent, but could use some more peat smoke-like notes...

12oz bottle courtesy of dkachur. Pours a clear deep brown with a one finger tan head. The nose is dark fruit, caramel, light tobacco and cocoa. The taste is burnt smoky malt, peat, chocolate covered raisins and bitter hops in the finish. Medium semi-creamy mouthfeel. Good Scotch Ale. Thanks Dan!

12 ounce bottle from Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a very dark brown color with a medium brown head. Fair head retention and lacing. Aroma is malty with lots of toffee notes, some molasses, cinnamon and leafy hops. Taste is molasses, brown sugar, raisin, earth, alcohol. Medium-full bodied. Slightly sticky.

Bottle - Pours nice copper in color with a light tan head that quickly faded and only a small amount of carbonation. Aroma is malty with toffee/caramel and some chocolate. Flavor is also malty with molasses, smoky peat, some coffee and roasted malts. Some alcohol apparent. Finish is slight sweet with coffee and chocolate. Pretty good...

[bottle] Potent dried fruit malt aroma with spicy molasses notes. Thick, opaque garnet-brown with a lasting beige foam island and ring. Sweet and salty molasses and pumpernickel malt with a bit too much ethanol. Dried fruit, tobacco, walnuts. Bitterness is significant and appropriately offsets the potent residual sweetness. Medium to full body, medium carbonation, sweet and nutty bitter finish. Slightly warming.

12oz screw-top bottle purchased at Tiger Town in Gardiner, Maine. Pours a dark copper translucent body with a thin film of light tan head. Roasty peaty malt with a fair dollop of butter in the aroma. Dark chocolate, coffee, peaty smokiness, and butter in the background. Alcohol is fairly well-hidden. Not a bad wee heavy, but could definitely afford to be cleaned up a bit.
