Dec 26, 2008 Tallahassee, Fl. - Liquor Loft - 16 oz bottle. Pours a murky dark copper-light brown with a very light off-white head. Aroma is of smoked peat and sausage. Sweet and smoky flavor with hints of caramel, smoked meat, peat and does not quite edge to the verge of cloying which I was afraid was going to happen when I poured it. Full bodied and belly warming. Mouthfeel is thick enough for the style. Decent selection from Sprecher - which is turning out to be a solid regional brewer making their way across the country.

Dec 15, 2008 16 oz bottle. Pours a nice brown color with a bit of an amber hue. There is a small white head that lacks a ton of retention and the lacing could be a bit better. Aroma is sweet with notes of malt and maybe a touch of smoke...? It actually smells like a couple other Sprechers I have had recently. Flavor is nice. There are some sweet caramel flavors with a hint of smoke at the end. It is very smooth and malty. This is nicely approachable Scotch ale thats easy to drink.

Dec 12, 2008 Far superior to the bourbonized style. Fairly not brown but nearly clear. Just as the description says. Light smoke, earth, lightly roasted malt, maybe a little peat. Medium palate, fairly dry overall.
