Commercial Description:
Traditional Scottish ales are brewed with large amounts of base malt, generous use of roasted malt and very few hops. This deep ruby/brown ale is the king of Scottish ales. Offering huge malt flavor and little hop profile, deep caramel, toasted chocolate & and wine-like fruitiness are evident. While extremely sweet at first, the extended aging process results in a mellowing effect, thus producing a very strong complex ale that is smooth and drinkable.

On tap, 10oz pour into a Tulip Glass. Dark red, no head or lacing at all. Fantastic color but lack of head lowers the score. Aroma of peat, noticeable alcohol, malts, slight spiciness that seems almost Belgian. Peat smoked malts, alcohol taste that increases as it warms. Pepper or clove (once again, Belgian-like). Towards the end of the glass, it really started to remind me of a Scotch Whisky. Very low carbonation, thick, warming. Very good late night sipping beer. The high alcohol (both in taste and in actuality) limits having another. Overall, this really reminds me of their Hope and King Scotch Ale, just with much higher alcohol and a stronger peat presence.

Tap at the brewery - Aroma is sweet roasted malts, tobacco and leather. Flavor matches with a big malty finish. This is a great and super tasty beer.

On tap at Town Hall on 05/26/2009. Clear dark brown body with ruby highlights. Light peat and smoke aroma with some chocolate hints. Sweet smoke and peat flavor, light chocolate and caramel notes. Full body with moderately low carbonation.

10 oz pour at TH appears brown to black with little head. The aroma is roasty, chocolate, peat, and alcohol. Flavor is quite sweet and roasty, some peaty stuff, quite nice, perhaps a bit of salt in the finish, almost scotch like. The palate is medium to rich. Nice!

GABF 2007. Very buttery, like toffee butter, in the mouth. Smell and finish are peaty, musty, and funky, with hints of a moldy basement (if the basement were heated). Malts have a strawberry quality, with hay and yeasty musk over the top. Perfect level of sweetness. Nice round strawberry and golden raisin flavors in the middle on a peaty malt frame. Quality quaff.

Draft. Arborfest 2008. A very well don example of the style. Aroma initially of sweeter, honeyed malt. Maple syrup. Some moist peat moss as well. Pours dark ruby/amber with a thin off white head leaving excellent lacing. Flavor shows true balance. Sweet caramel malt and loads of earthy peat and a dash of smoke. Lush, creamy with more carbonation than expected. Lengthy, almost tart finish.

(on tap at Town Hall) Pours a dark amber with a white head. Aroma of sweet caramel, peat, but not much else. Taste is really sweet with a large dose of caramel, light toasty notes, and a subtle hint of smokiness as well. Medium mouthfeel with no bitterness to be detected. A good scotch ale.
