Sep 11, 2009 22 oz. at Macs on West Peachtree Street. Not a very vsicous-like pour. Decent dark brown without much head; average looking scotch ale, in my opinion. Malt and roast with some peat aspects to it. Slight toast/nut aroma as well. Very full flavor. Wow, even though this beer isn’t really creamy it carries a very nice nuanced profile of flavors. That peat is very noticeable in the taste, and then I get this underlying smoke/roast flavor. Slight sweet malt flavor(s) as well. This is a very interesting flavor for a Scotch ale. There is this odd dried dark fruit flavor as well. Just a very different maybe even odd flavor to me. I appreciate the complexity of the beer in terms of taste and aroma, but the flavor is not really to my liking.

Aroma: Caramel malts, scotch, pete, earth, pine, bit of dried fruit
Appearance: Bright red, slight orange
Flavor: Like the nose, but sweeter, some bread, not balanced, but a nice sweet malty flavor

Overall Impression:
I think this is a pretty solid beer, nice nose, nice smooth and sweet malty flavor. An enjoyable beer that just works well.

Sep 7, 2009 Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in Plano, TX. Pours a nice looking amber/red with a beige head. Aroma of light caramel and a little spice. Flavor is exactly the same with a little faint sweetness. Mouth feel is light-medium body with low-medium carbonation. Overall, not bad at all!

Sep 5, 2009 Updated: Sep 12, 2009Bottle courtesy of Swalden28. Clear gold orange pour. Interesting aroma. Heavy and sweet malts on the nose. Some straight butter as well. Spiced smell too. Taste is not what I expected. Blandly bitter that tastes somehow old. Woody by all virtues with the slightest feel of alcohol. Not bad but not what I was expecting for the style.
