12 oz bottle from Canal’s Hainesport. Pours a deep brown with some dark ruby edges and a large foamy beige head that has some decent staying power. Aroma is strong with lots dark fruit, earth, peat, corn syrup, molassess and rum. Full body with a chewy mouthfeel and average carbonation, some noticable alcohol. Flavors of raisin, prunes, burnt caramel, peat and slight hint of smoke. This is one solid beer but it seems a tad bit hot for only being 8%.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown body with a creamy tan head. Woody scotch character with hints of caramel and some dark fruit and etoh notes. Big woody apple etoh bite with some caramel notes. A good brew.

Just the right amount of alcohol taste. Poured a clear dark brown with good tan head, bitter ending. Worth a look if you see it around.
