| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Jun 5, 2008 The Dan Journal #184. 12oz bottle. Tasted 6/3/08. Hazy yet relatively clear. Ruby hue. Sparse webbed off-white head. Hoeny and sugary aromas. Touch candy cherries. Great nose. Medium to full bodied with an off smokey tart flavor. Char. Sticky coffee acidity. Solid scotch ale, but too much smoke. Bitter hop finish, but once again, the smokey character dominates and in my opinion, detracts. Dissapointed.
