Aug 16, 2009 Sampled @ GTMW ’09 - Mahogany pour with a little tan head. Smells and tastes pretty similar - sweet bourbon and caramel malt. Taste brings out a little more toffee. It’s wonderfully creamy and a bit syrupy. Very good beer.

Aug 11, 2007 Draft at the Great Taste of the Midwest. Heavy alcohol presence on the nose. Very scotch-like with hints of oak, butter and caramel. Lots of caramel, molasses on the palate. Just a tad out of balance. The hop/malt/wood flavor was just a tad disjointed, but a very nice effort nonetheless. Very rich and oily on the palate.

Sep 2, 2008 Draft at brewpub at 48F. Poured dark brown color with an moderate rocky off-white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Good roasted sweet malty aroma. Medium body with sticky texture. Medium sweet complex malty flavor with a dark fruity sweet finish of average duration. Very enjoyable brew

Sep 20, 2009 This draft brew from the brewery poured a small sized head of foamy finely sized bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a semi-opaque dark red brown colored body and a poor lacing. The aroma was malty and licorice. The mildly oily mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish with a biting vinous aftertaste. The flavor contained notes of malt mild hops and licorice. Delicious and one I would certainly buy again. Warning, this beer has a kick!

May 15, 2008 Tasted 4/27/08. Filtered with a dark ruby hue. Trace head. Aromas of anise, soy sauce and blueberries. Rather full bodied with smokey malts and a toasty note. Fudge and vanilla. Honey and oaky. Nice yeast character. Tasty.

Feb 24, 2007 On tap, Batch 50 for Shoreline, congrats Sam!
Pours a brown hue with amber highlights and no head nor lace. The aroma is very floral with heavy plum and Merlot esters along with notes of grassy hops, molasses and an addition of wild heather. The taste starts malty smooth with the same Wee Heavy notes of fruits. I found some clove and juniper berry like spice notes as it warmed along with a finish of molasses twang. The mouth feel has a note of alcohol and sprite along the edges with a undertone of sea salt and surprisingly dry finish. A solid winter warmer with a layer of flavors once you adapt to the overt fruitiness of the beer. Yep, a love it or hate it kinda brew.

Sep 20, 2008 On tap at the brewpub: This poured a very dark brown body with a smallish eggshell head. The aroma was of darkly sweet roasted malts. The flavor added molasses and dark berries to the mix along with a hit of alcohol. Not a bad sipper.

Apr 26, 2008 Had this one draught at the brewpub in Michigan City, Indiana. Cloudy, dark brown pour with a nice foamy light brown head, a very faint nose of strawberry and fruit, caramel, maple sugar, peat; earthy. Not bad, actually, very strong finish. Among the best scotch ales I’ve had but that’s not saying much.
