Aroma is very sweet, very smoky & malty. Cloudy brown, minimal head. Very pronounced smoke, but not overwhelming. Very sweet as well, not a hop leaf in sight. Hint of raisin at the end. Aggressive and interesting, a bit over the top for me.

Rich plummy aroma. Hazy brown color with a beige/tan head that flattened very quickly. Medium body with creamy carbonation. Flavors are caramel, dark fruit, smoke, and more. It’s very rich and flavorful. Though heat is not noticeable, my body says there’s alcohol here. The finish is something pruney with smoke and light bitter. Quite surprising and palatable.

The nose coming off of this deep caramel-colored brew is all darkfruits and brown sugar. The palate is a warming caramel and whiskey flavor, with smoked barley backing. Worth a second drinking.

Pours brown with a caramel and red color. Light white head dissipates quickly. Heavy malts. Caramel rasin. Undertone of alcohol. Taste of malts and hops is very balanced. Roasted. Finishes dry. Not as good as I would have liked to see.

Pours a brownish red color with a small tan head that dissipates quickly. Aromas of caramel malts and dark fruits dominate the aroma. Flavor is of roasted malts with a slight bitter backing. Not bad,but not what I was expecting

Poured a hazy dark amber color with a beige head. Dark fruity aroma with notes of brown sugar. Aged malt flavor with some phenolic band-aid notes. Sweet with a medium body.

This Scotch ale pours a medium amber color from a 12oz bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is smoky, peaty and sweet, touch of brown sugar. A medium bodied Scotch ale. The malts are caramel and sweet. Touch of smoke and peat. The hops are earthy and floral. Nice beer. Good carbonation, nice balance. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Medium amber color with medium off white head, Malty caramel aroma. This was an ok brew but it had a weird metalic flavor to it along with light caramel/peat notes.
