CoachJT (35), Columbia, South Carolina, USA Oct 11, 2008 Draft from Liberty Taproom. Nice dark color with a tannish red head. Very malty aroma with a hint of chocolate, with matching taste. Nice body, dangerously easy to drink. caesar (3020), Bunnik/Utrecht, Netherlands Oct 9, 2008 Tap @ brewpub. Clear dark cola color, short head. Thin aroma of malt, some caramel. Taste of some smoke, malt. Good malty body, which makes up for the thin aroma. jkaiser (212), Orlando, Florida, USA Oct 8, 2008 This was the 17th beer I tried at Central Florida Beerfest 2008. I could taste yeast and it was very rich and full of flavor. tilldeath (72), Arvada, Colorado, USA Oct 8, 2008 Updated: Jan 15, 2009Thanks go to Richard Johnson Dark brown almost opaque pour with a lasting tan head, lighter mouth feel which is something I prefer, light carbonation as well, another plus. Aroma of smoked wood and light alcohol, alcohol is not present at all in taste. slightly dry and a mild bitter finish. All around this is a very drinkable and beer. stefanje (937), (Santee) San Diego, California, USA Oct 8, 2008 12 oz can. Pours a dark brown with red highlights. The head is cream with lacing and good retention. The aroma is rich with black licorice, mocha and roasted malts. The taste is similar to the aroma. The mouthfeel is full, smooth and creamy. The finish is medium in duration with lingering black licorice. Overall: Another great beer in a can. Recommended. Sparky27 (1559), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Oct 7, 2008 Can. Pours a clear dark reddish brown with one finger beige head and spotty lacing. Nose is sweet malt, and some smoky earthiness. Taste is caramel malt and molasses up front, chocolate and a touch of charred wood in the finish. Medium, smooth mouth feel. This is one of the best of the style that I’ve had so far. Good brew. JohnC (2227), Mission Viejo, California, USA Oct 3, 2008 Nice looking dark brown pour with a foamy white head. THe flavor is malt and smokey, pretty tasty. Pastor (509), Maine, USA Oct 3, 2008 Thanks to mhewes for this one.
Can poured into a standard pint glass produced a finger worth of tan head that went away quickly. The body of this brew was the color of a chocolate lab (dark brown)
Big aromas of roasted malts and light smokiness filled my head.
The flavors are the same as the nose big roasted malts are right up front with a nice sweetness as well. A bit of earthiness makes it self known as well. Rich, creamy and smooth are words I use with this brew as well
A good example of scotch ale I would gladly pick this up if I see it around. All this and from a can too what more can you ask.
