Bottle… October ‘09 O-Town Throwdown!… Mostly clear, burnt orange ale with a small, fat-bubbled, off-white head. The nose offers fragrances of toasted cashews and almonds, caramel and leather. Full-bodied with a buttery mouthfeel and modest carbonation. Sweet, nutty and a touch acidic. Lengthy, lightly sweet, mildly tangy finish.

Oct 29, 2009 Rich amber pour wtih a brown head. Aroma and flavor are malty, peaty, and a bit meaty. Not bad at all. Solid.

Aug 28, 2009 bottled, dark amber with hint of ruby with thick brown head, wonderful sweet dark fruit aroma with notes of roasted malt, flavor sweet up front with brown sugar and roasted malt in finish with very light hops noted, nice residual roasted quality on palate without any hot alcohol noted, very good for style

Aug 23, 2009 A decent scotch ale with toffee and smokey malt flavors. Tastes distinctly of banana to me for whatever reason. Overall a drinkable beer, but a little watery and not as rich or sweet as a lot of scotch ales.

Jul 25, 2009 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.

Jun 10, 2009 On nitro at Snoose Junction (pt 2). Pours mostly clear reddish-brown with a nice off-white head. Smells roasty (malts/coffee) and vaguely fruity. Taste is much stronger, with peat, vanilla, and toffee adding to the roasty fruitiness. Smooth, creamy, and sticky- the nitro worked well with this.

May 18, 2009 22 oz bottle, via 5000. Pours a clear reddish brown body with a small fizzy off-white head that faded completely. The nose is a bit light, just some grainy husky malt with some burnt caramel and light-roast coffee. The flavor is much the same, quite husky and grainy with toasted maltiness and light roast. Thins out a bit on the back end. Light bodied and watery in texture with moderate fizzy carbonation. Overall, I’m not so sure this makes the grade for a Scotch Ale, the lightness of everything seems to suggest that this is more of a Scottish Ale. Just kind of a meh beer. Not offensive, just kinda boring.
