tiggmtl (4179), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Jun 23, 2008 Floral hops and grainy malts are somewhat overwhelmed by butterscotch in the nose. Clear, deep golden body is topped by a low, fine bubbled white head that recedes rapidly to ring. Butterscotch, caramel and a light floral, soapy hop flavour are offset by light bitterness. Aftertaste is somewhat grainy. Medium body with a touch of alcohol and moderate carbonation. Sampled on hand pump at the brewpub in Mar-08. Oakes (6979), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Jan 26, 2006 Slightly hazy amber colour. Healthy amount of peat smoke with caramel and toasty malt accents. Probably a little too caramelly on the palate for my liking, but it’s not a bad beer. JoeMcPhee (3807), Jackson Heights, New York, USA Jan 24, 2006 Amber coloured brew topped by a fine-laced white head. Sweet malty aroma, light toffee, a bit of toast. Faint smokiness and light sweetness. Flavour is smokier than the aroma, light toffee, light earthy malts. Nice balance of sweetness and peat. A touch of apple fruitiness in back. The body is a bit thin, but still tasty.
