Jul 15, 2008 Can. Heavy malt aromas of roasted, molasses, and mild coffee, moderate hops and yeast of resin and earth, with notes of raisin, toffee, and vanilla. Head is large, creamy, off-white, with fair lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is dark brown. Flavor is moderately sweet and lightly acidic to start and finishes moderately sweet and lightly bitter. Palate is medium, between watery and almost syrupy and has a lively carbonation. A deep maltiness and well rounded flavors makes this one of the best Scotch Ales I’ve tried.

Jul 14, 2008 Tap @ Pizza Port SB. Pours murky brown with a short off-white head. Peat, molasses, leather, and smoke in the nose. Rich caramel taste with nuts, followed by the peat/smoke and a bitter finish. Kind of chewy ending. Good stuff.

Grassy hop flavor then roasty malts with some smoke and peat with a touch of alchohol warming in the finish. Moderate bitterness. Medium very creamy mouthfeel with moderate carbonation.

Jul 4, 2008 Can, totally surprised by this one. Got the 6 pack for free and assumed it would be something cheap. Loads of malt aroma. Great malt chocolate taste. Incredible. Caramel and its creamy mouthfeel make you feel like you’re drinking a beer milkshake. Great

Jul 3, 2008 Pours from the can - go figure - a dark brown with a nice head that reduces but remains for the entire experience. the lacing on the sides of the glass is perfect. A thick scotch ale that feels like it is textured on your tongue. Strong flavor of toffee and roasted malts. An excellent, excellent scotch ale.

Jul 3, 2008 Pours a dark brown with a white head. Smells sweet, chocolate, coffee and bourbon. Taste is silky smooth, with tobacco, smoked peat, chocolate, coffee, and the alcohol tastes like a scotch ending. Very smooth and dark. My only two faults are that I wish it didn’t smell like a porter and that the head was larger/lacing present. Pretty good though.
