Beer pours dark brown/amber. A thick foamy head fades eventually. Aroma is caramel, apple, and toasted biscuit. Taste is mild nut and vanilla with sweet fruit and caramel. Body is medium light with a low creamy carbonation.

Nov 22, 2009 My Bottom Line:
Toffee-laden bready malts and berry fruitiness ride this Scotch Ale’s peaceful effervescence for a delicate sipping experience.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A veil of foam covers the dark burgundy.
-This doesn’t have enough body for my tastes in the style.
-Menthol allusions are found in the flavor profile.
-The nose is lightly earthy and perhaps smoky.
Bottle.

Nov 19, 2009 Rich malty aroma, nice white head, a littl smoke in the finish. Slightly better than average mouthfeel. On sweet side, but not cloying.

Nov 16, 2009 BOMBER. Pours a mahogany body with a tan head. Malty body with some light wooden notes, toffee with some light coco notes. Chewy with a full body and a light warming. Bitter sweet nutty dry finish. Nice.

Nov 12, 2009 Bomber. Pours a deep dark amber/brown with a foamy one finger tan head. The nose is light chocolate, roasted nuts, caramel and molasses. The taste is faint smoky peat, toffee, cocoa and nuts. Medium, semi-creamy mouthfeel. Not bad, better than the Hoppin Frog Scotch I just had.

Oct 26, 2009 The appearance is deep brown with an average head. The aroma is both sweet and smokey with the smoke taking a back seat. There is also some hops. The taste is like the aroma. The palate is smooth and full. Overall this is a great beer and one I want to have again.
