An easy drinker. riversideAK (1630), Shoreline, Washington, USA Apr 5, 2008 On cask. Looked like the picture to the left except mine had a great fluffy head from the cask. Aroma of sweeter dark malts, chocolate, caramel, with nice mild smoke accompanying everything. Flavor is a mix of sweet and smokey. A nice malty scotch ale. I liked the way the smoke balanced off the sweetness. Creamy and incredibly smooth. BrewDad (1691), Olympia, Washington, USA Mar 8, 2008 22oz Bomber - Gravity Beer Market - Olympia, WA
