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.

Sep 26, 2009 Pours like motor oil,, very little head and a dark brown color. Aroma is licorice, dark chocolate, and scotch. Taste is smokey, with roasted malt. Little to no carbonation, easy to drink but I could only have maybe one or two. Very unique brew.

Jul 9, 2009 Pours an almond color with a thin off-white head which fades rather quickly and leaves a few nice streaks of bubbly lacing. Aroma is caramel, almond, light chocolate, and some roasts. Taste is caramel malts, almond extract, with slight smokiness and cocoa. Never a fan of this style, but this is rather good.

Jun 22, 2007 Poured a dark brown with light brown head, about medium in size. Nice aroma of chocolate and caramel; slight sweet and smoky notes. Really good mouthfeel; creamy and smooth on the palate. Roasted malt and smokiness more prevalent in the flavor. A light hop finish.

Dec 3, 2006 Updated: Apr 12, 2007Can. Dark brown, slight reddish lacing. Brown head. Aroma is malt and touch of sweetness. Like all good scotch ales, decent body and a boozy finish. Great beer.

May 27, 2009 Goodness in a can, I wish this were locally available. Dark mahogany pour with a pencil thin head and lacing that resembles land formations as seen on a globe. Brown sugar and milk chocolate on the nose with a strong woody, mulch aroma. Medium bodied with a harsh smoothness. Good flavor of black strap molasses and an earthy peaty taste. Chocolate and a hint of raspberry are in there as well. I only had one can, but I could see putting back a handful of these around a campfire. Nice beer.

Dec 28, 2006 Canned.....obvious appeal if it is in fact a quallity microbrew. Pours a deep garnet tinged brown with a small, quickly dissipating head. Aroma is big on sweet malt with caramel and toffee notes. Some subtle smoke comes through in the nose as well. Flavor is sweet and bready/malty with a pleasant smoke flavor to round it out. Moderate hop bitterness but no real hop flavor to boot. Slightly fruity and complex ester profile to complement the malt and smoke. Slight alcohol warmth going down, but no overpowering alcohol in the flavor. Mouthfeel is very full and smooth with slightly low carbonation though to style for a scotch ale. Great brew.
