Chestnut color with a light fine head. Plethora of malt aromas. Aromas of caramel, surghum/molassas, slightly earthy with a touch of peat. Flavors of light chocolate, dates and molassas. Just a touch of peat to make it interesting. As it warms the alcohol comes out a bit, both in aroma and in warming feel. Almost silky in feel. Belhaven Wee Heavy with a kick.

Once again thanks to hopsrus for a sample of this. Thick malt flavors sit very nicely on the tongue. This is a beer to really wrap yourself around. Quality.

UPDATED: SEP 14, 2004 Re-rate, this is the first bottle of Alesmith that I have purchase in Ohio. Burgundy/brown color, pour with a moderate brown head. Aroma is rich, like prunes, carmel and nuts all mixed together. Flavor is sweet, with some alcohol showing. Finish starts off syrupy and ends slightly dry with some hop bitterness shining through.

Beautiful dark brown body with a head that lingered wonderfully throughout the tasting. Aroma is that of high yeast content, almost vanilla, deep chocolate hints as well. The taste is highly alcoholic with the scotch dryness really sticking out and grabbing the palate for a ride. Did i mention super dry!!!! Heavy molasses and malty afternotes...a very well rounded scotch ale.
