bottle. I can say that scotch ale is one of my least favorite styles. The aroma was sweet. The flavor is sweet with roasted malt.

Big malty aroma, no hops present as it should be! Nice Dark amber/brown color with a fairly thin head. Mmmm love that big malty flavor. Very sweet, almost cloying, with no evidence of hops. The substantial alcohol is undetectible. This one has a fantastic mouthfeel with very low carbonation. A sweet malty finish. This is the beer I’ve been looking for. I’ve got to drive to another state to get it, and it’s worth it! The worst thing I can say is this isnt’ a terribly complex beer but hey some of the best flavors on earth are simple.

Sweet and soft aroma, almost like a dessert. Resembles a weaker Guinness in appearance. Flavor is sweet.

Bottle... Poured near black with an off-white head, faded quickly to nothing. Spicy malt aroma. Flavors were kind of hoppy up front with a wine-like bass, very sweet with maybe plumb juice and caramel. Sweet/tart malt finish.

355 mL bottle. (Labeled malt liquor!) Dark, chestnut brown with a small, quickly dissipating brown head. Thick molasses aroma with some ripe pear/apple in there as well. The flavour is quite malty sweet - caramel and cola. No bitterness, and it sweetens as it warms. Quick finish. Alcohol is well hidden. Fairly full bodied, but simple. Not bad - went well with lamb.

12oz bottle-pours a retaining tan head and mahogany color. Aroma is medium/dark malt-caramel, peat. Taste is dark malt-caramel/molasses, eat, dark fruit-plum/raisin, some hops bite. Nice Schwarz-scotch ale, occasional. OK carbonation.

I was very happy to have come across this great find. I love the dark overpowering taste of this mix. A Smokey sweet aroma coupled with a caramel, oakish taste makes this one of the better beers I have had.

Pours a dark brown colour with a thick, creamy off-white head. Smells like the smokiness from a single-malt along with some malts. Tastes of caramel, like a more harcore Wealther’s Original... A bunch of malts are definately present along with some fruits and some alcohol. Creamy mouthfeel as well. Pretty damn good.
