Black and red in color. Smells like oil. decent scotch ale. Not my favorite style even though I am a Scot. Very typical. Not a stand out. But a good effort for a side project nonetheless.

Bottle thanks to ericandersnavy. Pours a very nice dark brown/red with beige head. Aroma is malty, spicy and some caramel with toasted grain. Flavor is exactly the same. Mouth feel is medium body with medium carbonation. Overall, a pretty tasty brew.

Clearish mahogany, no head. Sweet, smokey aroma, plus some caramel. Peaty, and earthy at first, then sweet, caramel and toffee notes, as well. My notes indicate that there a notes of "stuff", as well. So its got that goin’ for it. Sampled at lithy’s Septemberfest.

Bottle courtesy of ericandersnavy. Dark brown color with gold tinges on the edges. Some roasted malts aroma with a slight keller smell. Taste is bitter upfront that transforms into a heavier malt presence. Tasty yet a little dry.

Bomber pours a clear and dark mahogany body with a small beige head that laces the glass well. Subtle aroma has toffee, roastiness, earthy hops, and a hint of coffee. Creamy carbonation and a smooth medium body. Taste has a dominant toffee and caramel maltiness. Lots going on in the taste, with a vague pome fruitiness, some plum, chocolate, dark bread, earthy hops, and more roastiness. Alcohol is well concealed but adds some warmth at the finish. Very drinkable, especially for style. Nicely constructed.

Dark brown with a small white head. Aroma of smokey sweet malt. Flavor is rich and sweet, peat malt, sugar and alcohol in a wonderfully balanced mix. Very good. Would love to see this in regular production.
