This scotch ale isn’t my cup of tea. It isn’t as henious as Sam Adams Scotch ale which is a good thing. I will not be trying this one again. Had it at beerfest.

2009-04-10. Hazy red brown body, fluffy beige head. (3+) Aroma is fairly alcoholic, dry malt and caramel with a good dose of smokey peat. Flavour has a a lot of alcoholic overtones, dry caramel, mild peat is restrained but pervasive. (6+) Smooth average plus palate. Not bad but really not to my tastes, as I would like more sweet malt and a lot less smoke. Bottle shared by GregClow

In the bottle at the 2009 Crescent Moon Extreme Beer fest. Pours a ruddy dark brown with a medium off white head. This is a delicious beer. Has a very malty palate and the peaty flavors are dominant throughout.

Pint bottle courtesy of OHLRangers. Pours a hazy dark cola color with reddish highlights and a two finger creamy tan head that settles slowly. Aroma is sweet and malty with notes of caramel, toffee, raisins, ripe dark fruit and hints of honey, smoke and wood. Flavor is sweet and roasted with notes of caramel, honey, toffee, ripe dark fruit, hints of raisins and molasses. Generally medium body with a pleasing sweet and malty finish.

Darkish brown with a moderate white head, that leaves some lacing. Nice smoke and tabacco odour. A tad weak mouthfeel, decent taste, malt and peat and tabacco smoke taste. above average carbonation. A decent scotch beer from this decent brewer.

16oz bottle. Dark, murky but still a little transparent, brown. Smooth, simple and malty. Not unlike a lot of authentic Scottish Ales. Delicate hop balance, but overall it’s sweet and quite drinkable. Impressive medium bodied mouthfeel for a beer of it’s strength. Quite nice, I’d like to try it on draft.

Aroma of burnt toast and maple syrup. Appearance is dark amber with a thin white foam on top. Flavor is toffee, raisins, and charred wood. Very drinkable! ABV is subtle but present. I like it! It reminds me of Cally’s Smokin’ Scottish which I used to enjoy in Harrisonburg, VA.
