Very dark brown pour with virtually no head. Nice light peaty tones and some fresh cut wood. A hint of smoke. Taste has some identifiable peat notes over candied malts with a fruity character present. Real nice, could’ve been a bit thicker for a Scotch ale.

Aug 20, 2008 At Vero. Dark, muddled brown. No head. Prune liquer, triple burnt caramel. Smokey, sweet, quite nice. Soft, low carbonation, peat. A little syrupy but a nice mix of flavors.

Aug 10, 2008 Courtesy JMFG. Pours a pitch black, with not much of a head. Smells of some dark fruits, dark malts, figs, molasses, with maybe a touch of some smoke as well. Theflavor had a little of that smoke in it, lots of a dark fruit base, and some light vanilla as well. Got some bitter burnt malt in the finish which left bitterness on the palate. Decent scotch ale, but nothing to write home about.
