Love the bready feeling this beer gives me. Not tons of head but it makes up for it in other areas.

Poured from tap at a local establishment. Poured a dark black with a lighter tan head. Very sweet smell with the alcohol present. Very alcoholie tasting to which did not let the other flavors come out.

Quite similar to its imitator Dirty Bastard. A style I really like. Alas none of top rated scotch ales are available near me. Hides 8.0 very well. Nice looking bottle and label.
