Dec 21, 2009 On tap at PP Carlsbad. Clear copper brown with a one and a half finger beige head, good retention. Chewy toffee dominates with some toast and dry chocolate malts, light raisins present as well. Flavor is a little less sweet up front (not that the aroma was cloying) with some stronger fast, dry chocolate, and a little dry dog food. Then comes the sweetness in the middle, and then the beer almost dries out. Bitterness ended at a two, and was somehow semi-dry, thanks to the ETOH (it wasn’t very apparent to begin with)? Full body with light prickly carbonation. Middle of the road for American Scotch ales.
