Jun 18, 2009 The color is rich mahogany. It has very light foam. The citrus aroma is surprising. The flavor is refreshing and delicious.

Jun 18, 2009 Light copper, thick sticky head. Little caramel nose and a little nectar. Wow. Wow. I remembered this as a gentle introduction to peaty scotch ales, but POW there’s a decent smoky body that persists through the sip. Smoky character doesn’t start until the swallow so it goes from milk thistle, to smoke, to caramel and more smoke creeps in. I’m buying more of this in the future.

Jun 8, 2009 Very big caramel malt body. Slight estery-ness combined with a nice smokey peat nose. Very good beer, a nice style of scotch ale.

Jun 6, 2009 Updated: Oct 21, 2009Feel was sort of watery, but flavor was stronger and fuller. Malty with a bit of hops. Nothing special.

Jun 1, 2009 On Tap at the Pike Brewery. Poured a really nice dark orange color with a thin off white head. Aroma was big caramel toffee and malt. Flavor was sweet, but had a nice balancing hop bitterness. Well balanced. Really nice scotch ale.

May 25, 2009 Meaty smokey flavor with bitter grapefruit hop finish. Similar hop profile to the pale with some added malt characteristics in here.

May 23, 2009 Updated: Sep 22, 2009Much, much, MUCH better the second time. On tap; poured a red mahogany with an offwhite head and some lace. Aroma was nearly pure butterscotch. The taste was more of the same, with a slight hint of chili and a definite smokiness.
