Scotch Ales always have a tendency to sneak up on me and f* me up pretty good. This is no exception. A well-disguised high alcohol content. Sweet, malty scotch flavors. Deep and roasted.

Aug 18, 2008 Dark brown with a small tan head. Notes of vanilla, alcohol, roasted malts, and wood. Sweet and malty on the palate. I’d like to see how this one ages.

Aug 17, 2008 (bottle): Very dark reddish body, brownish head, okay lacing, somewhat lasting. Fruity aroma, some malt. Malty nutty taste, a little alcohol. Dusty. Hotter as it warms up.

Aug 15, 2008 Sweet malty caramel with touch of vinous fruitiness and peat. Slightly cloudy dark amber brown with small fine tan head. Deep sweet malty flavor with touch of fruit. Fairly full body and mouthfeel with sweet finish and low bitterness.

Aug 15, 2008 Sampled as part of a JRHB meeting. Somewhat surprised to see that I hadn’t rated this, but I did realize that it at least had bee a long time since I sampled it. Didn’t realize it had been over 5 years! Happily, better than I remembered it. Very dark brown, decent tan head. Aroma is a nice shot of smokiness (some may argue peatiness) and molasses tinged malts. Flavor matches, full and thick. Enjoyable.

does not count  Aug 15, 2008 Dark brown with a creamy, off white head. Decent lacing. Caramel, chocolate and notes of alcohol on the nose with a sweet caramel/chocolate taste. A bit thin on the tongue. Overall an enjoyable beer even if a bit too sweet for my tastes.
