Commercial Description:
AJC's Beer Pick February 2003 Max Scotch "John Roberts' interpretation of this classic style has a distinctively sweet malt character....the result is a deep brown caramelized brew with a very sophisticated taste. Scotch drinkers will appreciate the full-bodied mouth feel and the smokiness in the finish..." – Atlanta Journal-Constitution, 02/20/03

Dark leathery brown big creamy head. Mouthfeel is impressively creamy. Good a sweet malty. Might have benefitted from a little peatiness but a great dessert beer. Just enough citric hop bite in aroma and flavor.

Pours a clear copper amber with a thin ring of white head. Nice, sweet toasty caramel and mild peat aroma. Starts semi-sweet, lightly earthy and caramel malty with good authenticity and viscosity. An enjoyable Scotch ale.

Draft @ the downtown location. Poured a clear dark golden amber color. The aroma was sweet and fruity. A little grapey. Malty caramel flavor with notes of cola and fruity. Actually reminds me of a Dr. Pepper. Medium bodied.

Brownish red, with a frooty malt aroma. Rich and sweet at the start, then has a earthy flavor, too. Seems a bit lacking somewhere. Sampled at the Great Atlanta Pub Crawl, 2004.

Reddish brown appearance. Nice malty aroma. Flavor is malty with some cherries, grapes, and spices. Somewhat of a nutty backbone. Pretty good just not great.

Dark amber with sticky head and lacing. The aroma is nutty and sour. The flavor is caramelly & sweet with a smooth finish, not too bad.

It started as thin and did not make up from there. I want that heavy and thick malt flavor in a scotch ale and this was just a little short
