Thanks to kmpitz2 for this… Appears a hazy mahogany with a small white head. Smell is of cocoa, smokey malts, and rich caramel. Taste is of the same aromas with some mild hoppiness in the background. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and syrupy. Not bad at all.

12oz bottle shared courtesy of weeare138 (thanks!). Poured a medium to deeper mahogany color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of peat, toffee, earthy, and caramel. Tastes of caramel, nuts, and light chocolate. Some alcohol in the finish.

Poured a reddish amber color with a small, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of peat smoked malt, caramel malts, and butterscotch. Taste of caramel, nuts, smoke, and alcohol.

12 oz bottle shared at HWOH. Pours a nice deep amber with ruby-like highlights and a thin head. Aroma has some slight diacetyl mixed with loads of caramel malts, light smoke, and hints of prunes and other fruits. Flavor is actually slightly astringent in the back, but has a lot of complex malts- toasted, caramel, nutty, and light chocolate. Despite the slight astringency, there was an otherwise enjoyable mouthfeel and a pretty good finish. Pretty good for a scotch ale.

Bottled. Poured a reddish-amber with a short cap of beige head. Rather large aroma of butterscotch, caramel, earth, chocolate, toffee, and an air of artificial sweetener. Flavor begins very sweet (caramel, toffee, chocolate, earth)... transitioning to floral hoppage, smoked peat, and a solid alcohol kick on the back end. Grapefruit showed up for the warming finish. This was enjoyable and easy drinkin’.

Bottle: Courtesy of robertsreality via trade. Aroma of chocolate and light caramel. Aroma is light in general. Pours a muddy brown with hints of orange hilights when held to the light. Samll off-white ring for a head. Lots of chocolate and caramel up front with hints of toffee and fruit in the middle. Light grapefruit hoppiness in the finish. Very little carbonation. Alcohol is barely detectable. As it warms, flavors become more intense, most notabley the hops. This is very tastey, but does’t score well due to light aroma and not the greatest appearance.

(bonus brew by way of robertsreality)amber body with a good looking light brown head that did leave nice lacing.aroma was chocolate,diacetyl,and earthy malts.flavor was chocolate,earth type malts,root beer,and alcohol heat.overall not to shabby.

Brilliant but common amber-brown color with a short, coarse head. Sweet malt aroma with a heavy note of butterscotchy diacetyl and subtle floral, herbal hops. Some alcohol in the nose. Sweet, fruity, juicy malt flavors with plenty of hop flavor in the background. Alcohol isn’t apparent in the flavor except as a late, peppery zing. Low carbonation, slick juicy mouthfeel. Not complex, but perfectly balnced and tragically drinkable for a beer of this gravity. $10.99/sixer at Star Liquor in Madison.
