Well, I guess this fits the description of a scotch ale but for my taste it’s just way to malty and seems unbalanced. Seems to lean towards being a porter at least a borderline one. I have no idea how to rate this one other than to say it’ll be good in chili come next year. Can’t punish it that bad though b/c it does fit the style.

Oct 3, 2008 Nice looking dark brown pour with a foamy white head. THe flavor is malt and smokey, pretty tasty.

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.

Oct 3, 2008 Sweet, malty aroma, perhaps a hint of smoke. Colour is medium brown and clear. Has an off-white head, mostly lasting. Flavor starts heavy sweet and finish only lightly bitter. Syrup texture.

Oct 3, 2008 Can at Plan B, Copenhagen. Courtesy of reakt. Jet black with a brownish foam and fragile laceworks on the glass. Roasted aroma. Roasted grain in flavour with a fair amount of sweet caramel. Dry and woody in the mouth. Quite low carbonation. Drinkable, but far too sweet (15.09.2008).

Oct 1, 2008 Whoa. Nice and malty nose, with some sweetness. Taste is of crystal and light caramel. Heavy mouthfeel, good carbonation. Sticky and crisp finish. Burns a little but not bad. Excellent beer.
