Very dark brown with a garnet hint; small, beige, frothy head. Aroma quite malty with chocolate and raisins. Taste is just plain pleasurable, with caramel, tons of malts, a touch of chocolate, and a slight heat from the alcohol. Full and thick and sticky. Yum.

Sep 29, 2008 Poured dark amber with a creamy beige head. raosted Malty-carmel flavor - creamy chewy mouthfeel- Nice brew but not great. Aftertaste reminded me more of flat coke than a good brew. Scotch Ale must not be my cup of tea.

Sep 28, 2008 Thick dark pour, decent head, feel of single cream. Flavour is good, roasted malt, gravy, almost a meal in a glass! Pretty decent.

Sep 26, 2008 12oz bottle from Total Wine (Tampa, FL). Pours a dark reddish brown to black with a thin off-white head. LIttle glass lacing. Aroma is sweet malt, ripe fruit, hints of caramel, honey and ripe raisins. Flavor is very sweet and malty with notes of maple syrup, molasses. Generally medium body with a slightly carbonated sweet and bitter finish.

Sep 22, 2008 Bottle. Poured deep, dark chocolate in color, with a two finger beige head. Aroma was malty caramel coffee. Taste of roasted malt, sweet and bready, slightly bitter finish. Mouthfeel was creamy. I liked this brew a lot. One to return to on a cold winter’s evening after dinner.
