Poured a very dark brown with some red hues, not much head. Aroma has a muddy peat quality to it, with some pit fruity, apple-like aromas present as well. Taste has some brown sugar qualities, some peat, but not enough. Mild dry finish. Probably a bit too sweet overall, but a good offering.

A pretty nice Scotch Ale. Dominated mostly by the dark malt flavors. It makes for a very nice beer. I liked this one, pretty enjoyable, not overly complex, but a nice drinker.

Jan 25, 2010 In the bottle at the 2008 Crescent Moon Summer Beer Fest. Pours dark brown with a medium beige head. Caramel toffee aroma. The thick body has a nice caramel roasted flavor. Slightly nutty. Some chocolate notes. A big enough beer that i can detect the ethanol. I like it.

Jan 6, 2010 12 oz bottle: Pours an blackish/brown with red highlights and a large tan head that lasts forever. Aroma is malt heavy, bourbon, roasty, and a very light hop characteristic. Taste is malt forward, a spiced cookie note, caramel, sweet, and with a medium bitterness. Palate is very sweet on the tongue, very lightly carbonated, and an aftertaste of the bourbon and malt intermingled. Overall, It’s pretty good. Affordable around my parts, and I like scotch ale so...CHEERS!

Oct 27, 2009 On draft at The Map Room. Pours a dark brown with a frothy light tan head. Aroma is creamy roast with light fruit accents. Flavor follows, roasty, coffee and cream, light fruit, finishes dry and a bit astringent. Creamy body, medium carbonation, but overall a bit thin feeling.
