Not too bad if not one I would drink regularly Very much a whisky nose and it has the sweetness of scotch for certain. Beautful coloring and fairly smooth. Not one to be guzzled because of how heavy it is but I didn’t find it hard to get down. it provided a unique experence.

From bottle. Sweet aroma of malt and liquorice. dark brown in colour with a thin white head. Thick texture, sweet fruity flavour, malts and raisins. Warming scotch ale. Easy to drink considering the strength. Finish of plums. Tasty scotch ale.

I am somewhat torn on this drink - too much of something I really enjoy. Too sweet and syrupy, almost pure molassas. There seems to be quite a bit of earthy complexity but its totally burried underneath heaps of sugary sweet body. Again, not a drink to pai with smoked salmon dip.

The flavour has strong notes of malt and is rather sweet. IMO it lacks complexity and depth. The finish is short and moderately bitter. Uninteresting and way too sweet for me. (This is an early rating)

Bottle--Dark brown chocolate color with no head. aroma had caramel and malts. The tase was mostly roasted malt and a base of caramel. Pretty decent stuff.

Caramel, butterscotchish scent very dark brown with a nice glow lasting head Good rich flavor with dominant caramels I enjoy this beer.

Poured a dark brown with some lighter ruby and a one-finger tall tan head. The aroma was lots of sweet caramel, brown sugar and some roasted malt. The flavor is dominated by the syrupy sweet brown sugar and caramel malt. Slight effort by the roasted malt and smoke to push through. Medium bodied with a lingering finish. The sweetness is quite distracting.

Currently the worst beer I’ve ever had. It tasted like drinking mercury. Some hops that are extremely watered down. Awful.
