Accidentally stumbled upon this beer; wonderfully smooth and crisp! A great example of a Scotch Ale.

(11/14/08) Bottle at friends’ house in Philadelphia. Dark brown color with a medium stable beige head. Big malty nose with raisins, a bit of prunes, caramel, light woody notes and hints of cocoa. Very sweet malty flavor with dark fruits, burnt brown sugar and a bit of alcohol. Medium-bodied. Too sweet for me but really not bad.

Red brown in color with a decent sized off-white head. Aroma is of malt, caramel, toffee, and peat. Taste is of malts and toffee with a nice warming alcohol feel.

Acheté a la SAQ et dégusté dans un verre tulipe. Bière brun foncée au reflet rubis avec peu de mousse. Arômes de caramel au beurre et d’un peu de mélasse. Un bon goût de chocolat et de caramel. Une bonne rondeur en bouche, un peu d’amertume et de l’alcool sur mes gencives. Je trouve qu’il y a aussi une touche de noisette herbacée.

Bottle. Ruby red/brown in color, off-white head. Aroma of sweet cane sugar, toffee, somewhat fruity. It has a full body, a sweet sugary note and I agree with the soy sauce thing. It finishes warm with a sweet alcohol kick.

330 mL. Pours a clear ruby with a thin of-f-white head that settles down quickly. Aromas of toffee, caramel, Scotch malts, and some Worcestershire sauce. Taste is very sweet and malty with toffee and caramel and hints of soy sauce. Little too watery on the palate. 8% is nicely hidden. Overall I guess I’m just not a big fan of Scotch ales. I would stick to Belhaven Wee Heavy if my only choice was a Scotch ale.
