Jan 19, 2010 Received a 22-oz bomber via trade with 5000. Pours a burnt reddish brown colored brew with a thick and lumpy off-white head that has some nice retention and lacing. Aroma of roasted caramel malt, some smoked peat, toffee, and floral hops. Taste is semi-sweet peat and caramel malt flavors. Medium bodied, soft carbonation with addition flavors of dark pitted fruits and floral hops. Finish is semi-sweet, candied berries, peat and toffee aftertaste that slowly disappears. Actually, quite nice for a full strength scotch ale.

Dec 26, 2009 Light brown with red hue, little head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is slightly burnt toffee, a little peatish/smoke aroma, caramel with a slight American hop aroma too. Slightly smoky and caramel on the palate, again with a very slight American hop flavour of fruit and citrus. Some nice raisin/fruit cake flavour too. Medium to full bodied, well balanced. An obvious American take on the style, but that is in no way a negative thing. Good beer!

Dec 20, 2009 Pours a dark reddish brown with a thin head.
Nose is standard for the style, hints of molasses, smoke, and dark fruits.
Taste is very smoky, lots of brown sugar, molases, maple syrup and booze.
