Sep 25, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazed brown with a medium to large lightly tanned beige head. Big plum and prune and malt notes right up front with a little bit of oxidization and old cardboard behind it. Slightly odd. Big caramel, cola, and oxidized malt. Finishes with a roast bitterness. Held up (and probably was initially) better than I would have thought.

Jun 12, 2009 Thin light beige head of fine bubbles. Rich malty aroma with lots of sweet malts, some cherry cordial, earthy notes and a hint of smoked grains. Color is a hazy mahagony brown. Oooohhh. Very nice flavor up front. Sweet malts, roasted barley, smokyness and more earthy flavors. Flavor thins out and drys out late swallow. Minimal alcohol presence. Finishes kind of sweet and malty. A pretty good scotch ale from a brewery that I have come to not expect much from.

Dec 6, 2008 Pours a two finger very light tan head that fades slowly, leaving a good lace. Nice clear, deep amber color. Good carbonation and medium-heavy bodied. Caramel nose. Flavor is caramel and alcohol which is unusual with the low ABV but a decent scotch ale. 22oz bottle part of 3-pack $12.99 from Manchester Wine and Liquors Manchester, CT
