4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
On tap at Capones, 9 oz. poured into a snifter. Pours a very cloudy brown with a small tan head. The scent is fruit, figs, carmel and oak. The nice surprise on the palate was the hints of vanilla to go along with the oak and malty flavors. As the beer warmed, the oak and vanilla played well together and were perfect on the palate. This was a very nice beer.

3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: NOV 5, 2007 750ml – bottled May 2006: Pours a clear amber with orange highlights, lots of foamy off-white & tan bubbles, effervescent, sweet, vinous and caramel aromas, has oak and yeast fragrances, sour fruit apple and pear fragrances, there is a gentle spiciness and citrus sour scents that remind me of Belgian and Saison ales, dry on the palate, lots of carbonation makes this bubbly on the tongue, caramel and citrus fruit flavors, alcohol warmth in the background gives hints of stronger liquors such as Cognac and Brandy, this is an Scotch Ale? I thought I was drinking a Belgian Winter Warmer, must be the Belgian yeast. This resembled a Belgian Ale not a Scotch Ale which is disappointing, I wanted a Scotch Ale, I gave this drink a 3.5 rating because it is an ok Belgian ale.

Corked bottle
Wonderful amber color, generous head. Aroma of Belgian Ale, malty, mature, with a touch of oak. Full body, good malt, strong caramel flavor, to which the oak adds complex elements, and elegant vanilla. The final has a lot of caramel (good malt choice and mash), a touch of vanilla, warming alcohol feeling. Excellent.

3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Mahogoney brown with loyal significant white head. Masterful Scotch ale, with an impressive sourness not necessarily too much bourbon taste, and significant pleasant woodiness. Altogether mastery as they all work together for a successful replacement at dinner of a more expensive, wine.
