Pours a deep opaque amber color with a small fizzy cream-colored head. Smells of brown sugar, dried apricot, and a little yeast. Strong fruity esters from the Belgian yeast. Some caramel and over all Scotch bite to it. Very smooth for the high ABV. Very warming. Finishes a little dry with a slight bourbon note. Rich body. Very good.

Thanks to Naka for sharing! Clear copper body with a thin white head. Smells spicy, sweet, caramel, o-zone, and buttery. Interesting, clean, crisp, oaky taste. Really cool and interested. Caramel, bread, sweet clove and maple syrup notes. Reminds a lot of Scotch Silly.

[Bottle] Shared by BDR. Pours a nice brownish red with a large beige head. Aroma is malty and sweet. Touch of peat and smoke, oak, and sweet dark fruits. Flavor matches with some vanilla and bourbon. Good effort but not outstanding.

From bottle courtesy of Naka. A bit of oak and honey and not much else in the aroma. Reddish amber clear with thin head. Medium body with medium carbonation. Starts sweet with mild oak and alcohol warming. Thin but tasty. Woody. Bitter finish with dry after.

750ml. March 2008 vintage. Picked up on a trip to Texas. Aroma has a wood nose with some vanilla. Brown bodyy with red hue and tan creamy head. Flavor has a high carbination cola to it. Wood and creamy vanilla flavors as well. Wet wood aftertaste. For a scotch ale not over sweet and easy on the palate. Good brew.

March 2008 bottle. Pours with a large, creamy light brown head covering a murky deep auburn body. Good retention. Aroma of vanilla, peet, burbon, alcohol, and some dark fruits. Taste is peety, nutty, alcohol. A bit on the lively side carbonation, creamy mouthfeel. I feel that it is not even close to being worth the nearly $20 I paid for it.

good ale but nothing special here. i really liked the curieux but sadly this one seems a bit pedestrian. i will say though that this one is plenty drinkable and smooth for 11%.

Murky amber with tiny white head. Malty aroma with wood and ripe fruits. Sweet flavour with caramel, oak, bourbon, toasted malt, fruity and hoppy notes finishing it of bitter.
