On tap at the brewpub on 10/14/07: Pours a dark copper mahogany with a nicely-lacing light tan head. Aroma of good sweet peaty caramel and a touch of doughy yeast. Body starts with good sweet caramely maltiness, giving way to a great, authentic, rich peaty smoky finish. A nice Scotch ale.

Dark brown and a little cloudy. Very mild soap and pine aroma. Some nuts and raisins with a sharp scotch presence. Bitter and astringent, full bodied, with a nice nutty scotch finish.

Draught. Body is medium orange-brown. Aroma is moderately malty (caramel, cookie), with a note of brown sugar. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Medium body, watery/syrupy texture, lively carbonation. Once one of their best, the most recent sample was pretty lackluster.

Tap @ Pumphouse: Poured a dark brown-amber color with a medium sized beige head. Smokey, caramel and sweet malt aroma. The flavor was malty and sweet with a hint of fruit and bread. Light smoke with a semi-sweet finish. Light-medium body.

On tap at the brewpub, 4/13/06: Reddish-copper (sound familiar?) with a decent film on top. Minor little caramel warming aspect. Bit of cooked sugar, but it’s easy to drink.

On tap @ Pumphouse poured a cloudy reddish brown with a small lasting amber head. Aromas of peat smoke and toasted malt. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of peat smoke roasted malt and carmel with a smooth lingering smokey finish.
