Commercial Description:
An array of brown, roasted, and biscuit malts create this rich and malty ale. An extended two hour boil develops caramelized flavors as well as its dark color. A small addition of peat smoked barley adds a slight smoky flavor.

By far my favorite beer at the Port Townsend brewery, and the best scotch ale I have had. Full flavored, rich, malty, it has the pleasant smoked flavor wich is awesome. Outstanding first rate beer.

this is one of my favorite beers overall. had it on tap at brewery and it blew me away that it was not as sweet or sour as your typical scotch. I really like there reel amber but I think this one is best of brewery.

I really like this - not as heavily malted or sweet as most Scotch styles. Handsome in a glass, tasty, subdued. Nice.

This brew was definitely the highlight of my drinking experience at Fremont Oktoberfest 2001. I definitely must try again. Nice scotch-like aroma with wonderful smoked, roasted, and peaty components. Potent and pleasantly palatable with an excellent finish. 6-03 Rerate--not quite as tasty as my initial experience, but still quite good.

Dark brown appearance, good head formation. Malty, caramel aroma. Decent creamy palate, rich malty flavores, caramel/butterscotch, mildly smokey, dark chocolate, fairly heavy hop bitterness in the finish for the style. Lingering Thornton’s toffee aftertaste, pretty tastey stuff.

Smells sweet and caramel-y. A little bitter near the end balances quite well. I think there’s a bit of spice/pepper, but it’s not that strong. Pretty solid scotch ale, though I can’t say I’m an expert on the style.

Crystal-clear brown-amber with moderate head, light lace..Aroma was nice blend of sweet, roasty and slightly smoky components...Flavor has similarly fine blend of flavors, assertive but also well-balanced...excellent mouthfeel as well--substantial, smooth-textured, with a nice bitterness in the finish that owes both to its roastiness and some hop comments. I am well-impressed by this effort, the best I've tried from this outfit.

Hazy dark amber-brownish color. Massive butterscotch nose with cherries and oranges in the background. Big butterscotch slightly alcoholic mouth and a big butterscotch warming finish. Yum.
