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.

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.

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

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!!

Jul 19, 2009 Can you say malt? Smooth, round, and loaded with a carmel background taste that flows from the first sip to the last. Head is off tan and drops fairly quickly. A very smooth delivery of the style, despite the alcohol content. Sip this one.

Jul 12, 2009 Been meaning to try this one for a while. Dark pour - deep, reddish brown, with a light tan head. Very sweet, malt-forward - a sweet, nutty caramel with an incredibly mild roast. Nice and full-bodied, though a little undercarbonated, but this one’s lacking a bit of balance. Too much sweet, not enough roast / bitterness / booze to counter, even for a scotch ale. And they’re crazy if they think it "calls to mind a fine single malt scotch."
