Mar 16, 2009 Clear light brown pour covered by a moderate off-white head. Timid aroma does not quite reach out towards the caramelly and fruity riches of this world, but rather remains among easier toasty, relatively dry and quite nutty flavours. Almost roasty in character, its maltiness is never slick, nor chewy. Pertaining a timid leafy bitterness that seems amplified by the globally dry nature of the beer. Certainly not a typical all-in sweet scotch ale. Light-medium body. Fairly drinkable with its lighter than most body and soft carbonation, but not too captivating.

Jun 16, 2009 Pours brown with a thin tan head. Smells of sweet malt, molasses, earth, brown sugar, peppery. Tastes sweet and sticky with a spicy hint on the finish.

Nov 24, 2009 Bottle Shared at Ryan & Max’s Tasting @ Pauls. Pours a light brune body with an off white head. Mothy oxidation of the hops, scotch y wooden tones amongst some caramel and dry earth and char. Decent ale.

Aug 22, 2009 Bottle, thanks Kristi. Dark golden brown, small white head. Chocolate, sweet malt aroma. Taste is very sweet malt with alcohol and more chocolate. No smoke as expected from style. Sweet hoppy finish. Great Scotch ale minus smoke.

Feb 24, 2009 Pours with a brown body topped by a thin to medium thick head with some lacing. It’s slightly sweet with some roast and a little bitterness. Medium bodied and highly carbonated with a touch of dryness.

Nov 9, 2009 12oz Bottle, purchased at Haxton Liquors - West Warwick, RI. Interesting and unique spiced bread aroma. I’m trying to remember what it’s reminding me of, but I can’t touch on it. Something slightly exotic maybe middle eastern, backed with a good bit of caramelized malt, strong. Pours a clearish ruby-brown, with a lacy off-white head. Flavor is rich and deep, with well-roasted malts adding a bit of umami over the sweetness of caramelized malt sugars. Reasonably complex. Body is chewy and fulfilling, but not sticky. Hops brighten up the finish. There’s a faint bit of house yeast that’s not the best and the malt quality may flag a little in the backend, but otherwise this is a darn nice scotch ale.
