Jun 7, 2008 Bottle... SMAACMSM O-Town Throwdown, Part Sept... Mostly clear, burnt orange ale with a mid-sized, creamy, khaki head. Good, tight retention. Smoke and caramel notes stand out in the nose. Full-bodied with a 2%-milk mouthfeel and mild carbonation. Sweet caramel and toffee with no semblance of balance. Lightly smoky. Lingering sweetness in the finish. Muchos gracias to mcbackus for bringing this one along!

Jun 7, 2008 1 L fliptop bottle. Dark brown beer with a thick fluffy tan head. Aroma is great. Sweet, smoky and peaty. Loads of rich sweet smokiness over a rich toffeeish base. Lightly fruity and plummy with a light molasses sweetness. Sweet and toffeeish flavour with even more smoke retronasally. Man, this stuff rocks.

Jun 1, 2008 Courtesy mcbackus. Pours dark brown, with a small of white head. Smells of some sweet fruits, plums and figs come to mind, with lots of sweet malt. The flavor is much of the same, lots of those dark fruits really stand out here, with a touch of some alcohol heat, and caramel malt in the finish. Pretty sweet aftertaste with the distinct taste of plums rolling over the palate. Very nice drinking scotch ale.
