Nov 28, 2009 Pours a ruddy brown color with medium white head. Aroma is of caramel, light peat malt and floral hop aromas. Taste is chocolate, rich caramel, mild peat, and light floral hops. Light alcohol finish but nothing overwhelming or unfitting for the style. Lightly carbonated and well balanced. Another solid brew from Rob.

Nov 22, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a hazy amber-brown color with a head that quickly fades down to an oily rim. The taste is very malt centered and chocolaty, with very nice specialty malt nuances. Really quite an exceptional Scotch Ale, as it remains pretty drinkable and balanced, not overly thick and cloying like some versions. Bitter hop balance melds perfectly with the thick chocolate malt tones. A great beer.

Nov 22, 2009 Bottle courtesy of Mother in Law. Good roasty aroma with the sweet malt. Amber body with decent head. The rosted toast made this for me, balaced out the sweetness of the malt. Good Brew.

Nov 22, 2009 Binny’s Beverage Depot in Orland Park, Illinois: This pours a clear chestnut body with a skimpy yellowish beige head that vanishes completely before the drinking is over. No lace. The aroma has some woody dry malt with a hint of orchard fruit and a light peat smokiness. The flavor is much the same, having an added tough of dried toffee and an earthy bitterness. The finish is dry and woody. Pretty decent brew.

Nov 12, 2009 Red pour with creamy eggshell white head. Roasty aroma with some wood, smoke, a bit of earth. Flavor is earthy and smokey, a light sweetness which is cut down by the smokiness. Not as rich as most scotch ales but has good carbonation. Very dry finish.

Nov 12, 2009 Ruby brown translucent pour w/ a nice thick well laced tan head. Pal was pretty avg. Aroma is roasty some raw wheat nice caramels and lightly sweet. First taste had a hint of smoke then a well roasted sweet malt almost syruppy wheat is clearly present reminded me of peat from an isley scotch for a bit. A very good scotch ale.

Jul 31, 2009 Some hay in the aroma. Huge head on an amber body. Really struggling to get some good flavors out of it, despite the swirling, etc. Some smokiness comes out but lacks the richness I usually get with a Scotch ale. From growler.
