Feb 19, 2006 2003, big thanks to Numenor for this one! Dark brown, little head. Huge aroma of molasses and caramel, very inviting. Clearly malt focused, the molasses and caramel shine through. A hint of chocolate emerges. Fascinating finish, somewhat smoky, definite note of peat. This has aged quite nicely. Sampled at the Richmond "gathering."

I thought that this one was retired since it came in the 750 bottle and is no longer listed on the Stoudt’s website.
Pours dark brown with a thick creamy off-white head.
Rich caramel aroma with some vanilla and a hint of smokiness.
Creamy full bodied sweet brew that goes long inthe finish with a lightly acidic touch. Classic Scotch Ale.

Jan 25, 2006 Stoudt’s Scotch Ale pours to a beautiful, bright, deep garnet color with a thick, creamy tan head, and a moderate amount of carbonation. The nose is so inviting on this beer. Big aromas of sweet and caramel malt marry with subtle aromas of peat smoke, and peppery alcohol. The palate is lush with big malt flavors of sweet malt, caramel malt, a touch of smoke, a touch of roast, and a nice underpinning of toffee flavor. The body is hefty and comforting, as the slick maltiness glides over the tongue. This beer finishes with big sweet and caramel malt flavors up front, then ends slightly smoky and warming.
This is an absolutely delicious beer with wonderful malt character. At 7% abv it is a very warming brew, and makes the perfect beer to have on a cold Fall or Winter night. This beer would also work very well as a desert beer. I would pair this with sticky toffee pudding, or perhaps creme brulee. A great beer to sip and savor while next to a cozy and snug fire.
