Pours dark, a very nice leathery aroma with apple, earth, a hint of chocolate. The flavor is even better: chewing in leather soaked in brown sugar, just a faintest loveliest whiff of smoke, a bit of apple, a tiny hint of roasty chocolate way in the back. Drinks easy, hides its 8% abv. Lovely beer.

Aug 8, 2008 Now why did Highland have to phase this beauty out of their regular rotation? Not only the ultimate NC extra but one of the finer domestic examples of a scotch ale out there. Big gleaming amber body, with a fairly active carbonation. Rich toffee and malt notes in the nose, and a nice peaty taste in the lengthy finish. A fine one.

Jul 10, 2008 Nice thick brown pour. Tan head, not too big. Some ground roast nuts, coffee, toffee, very slight chocolate. Slight warming from the alcohol. Big beer, well done for the style.

Pours a deep brown with a small tan head.
Aroma of malt, caramel, peat. This brew has flavors of caramel, malt, slight peat, nuts combined with a pretty nice mouthfeel. I think this is a very well done scotch ale.
