tarheels86 (700), Washington DC, USA Aug 3, 2009 Can. Pours like Coke with a short-lived, temporary, tan, fizzy head. Appearance is deep ruby. No lacing. Aroma of caramel malt, burnt sugar, soy sauce. Taste is cherry Coke, brown sugar, caramel. Slightly undercarbonated. Creamy on the palate. A little too sweet for me. l1br4r14n (274), Washington, Washington DC, USA Aug 1, 2009 Updated: Oct 15, 2009Pours cola brown with a thin tan head (although it felt weird pouring this into a glass, I really wanted to drink this straight from the can). Aroma is rich with dark malt, roasted and chocolate. Flavor much like it smells, along with some spice and pine. Pretty nice! Gregis (1132), Shawnee, Kansas, USA Jul 30, 2009 Can purchased at Liquor Mart in Boulder. Pours a deep brown with garnet highlights and a fluffy khaki head. The nose is quite nice: dark fruity malt that makes me think of this as a lighter, fruitier version of a barley wine. Medium-bodied and slick with super-fine carbonation and a pleasantly astringent/drying finish. Sweet, dark, fruity malt, plum and beet sugar with a dry, mildly hoppy finish. This is a fine beer. I would definitely recommend it to any fan of malt-forward beers/styles. thirdeye11 (403), Texas, USA Jul 30, 2009 (12oz can) pours a dark ruby with great lasting head. Nose of roasted brown sugar, sweet malts, and burnt wood. Taste has smokey wood, roasted coffee, sweet toasted malts and light hops. Great sweet and smokey linger on the palette. Mutualaid (136), Texas, USA Jul 27, 2009 Pours dark, dark, brown with an abundant tan head. Big caramel aromas with just a hint of hops. Roasty flavor with a good bit of what I presume to be kettle caramelization rather than diacetyl. Full body with a nice, velvety mouthfeel. Very rich. Really a good example of the style. shawnm213 (841), South Bend, Indiana, USA Jul 24, 2009 can from Santa. very malty sweet. some brown sugar. very smooth. big caramel presence. booze is well mixed in. Thanks again Santa. AlabastorJones (761), San Francisco, California, USA Jul 21, 2009 sweet malty caramel nose, sweet syrupy high alcohols, brown sugar, molasses, not nearly as grainy as most scotch ales i’ve had, some interesting floral hint that i can’t quite put my finger on, quite complex ale offering a lot of interesting flavors, first scotch ale i’ve ever had in a can, i can say that with confidence BeerGuyTWMore (48), USA Jul 21, 2009 SEE COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION pours a dark ruby brown; with tan head, alittle oily. aromas of sweet roasty malt, oak, chocolate, and dark fruit. aromas translate into the flavors along with a brandy like warming alcohol finish that dries thanks to hops. Excelllent beer from a can; everything from this brewery is great!!
