AskForJenny (626), Ontario, New York, USA Jun 26, 2009 12oz can - Toffee colored liquid under thick beige head, almost creamy in appearance. Cherries, oranges & spice on nose. Watery mouthfeel, sweet malt, too sweet in fact, brief spot of hops. Little to remember this by. The ongoing search for a decent race track beer continues. unclemike (834), Ft. Riley, Kansas, USA Jun 21, 2009 Pours dark red with nice sized head. Aroma is loaded with caramel malt with a good deal of roastyness and some hop presence. Flavor is deliciously well balance- lots of molasses, caramel and come bitter roast. Palate is thick and creamy- an excellent beer overall. petematte46 (212), Dallas, Texas, USA Jun 18, 2009 Pours dark brown with a creamy tan head (thick lacing). Aroma is rather faint with notes of caramel, malt, toffee, and oak. Flavor consist of maple, brown sugar, malt, chocolate, and raisens. sallad (110), USA Jun 14, 2009 Hazy brown with orange tints and a thin beige head that quickly fades. Aromas of thick malt, slightly sour, wood and caramel. Rich malt coats the tongue, barely balanced by a mild earthy hop. Finishes with toffee, hickory smoke and alcohol. Light carbonation and a coating malt body. cprochak (388), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 13, 2009 Updated: Aug 8, 2009Rerate: On tap at the Tasty Weasel in Longmont on 7/16/09. Pours a nice dark copper-brown. Incredible caramel aroma that carries into a nice malty sweet flavor. Touch of bitterness on the tongue, then a wonderful sweet caramel finish. Very smooth drinkable brew. marctacoma (34), Fircrest, Washington, USA Jun 13, 2009 12 oz can
Nose is almost savory; doesn’t really hint at the taste to come.
This is fantastic - sweet, malty goodness with flavors of cola, caramel, and much more. Remarkably smooth, and the alcohol is extremely well disguised. Really enjoyed this. antzman (313), Clarksville, Indiana, USA Jun 11, 2009 12 oz Can (of course) Pours a deep mahogany, with a thin tan head. Very light aroma, but full of malts. The flavor is where this beer packs its punch. Smooth creamy malts, hint of chocolate, and some roasted malts and just a hint of smoke. The alcohol is very well hidden. The best version of a scotch ale I have ever tried dmschefke (371), Eastpointe, Michigan, USA Jun 11, 2009 Pours a dark brown with amber hue and a thin tan head. Aroma of roasted malts, slight smoke, and alcohol. Flavor matches well, but isn’t quite as smooth as I would hope for. Overall, pretty good, but nothing special.
