does not count SlothFroth (3), Katy, Texas, USA Jul 5, 2006 Dark malty ale with a bit hint of roasted barley. No noticible hop character. Funny off flavor (dirty tap?) Overall a pleasant malty ale.
travita (915), Lewisville, Texas, USA Dec 14, 2008 Dark red to light brown in color thin head. Smell is malts, sweet, peat, and not much else. Taste is plainish, with malts, sweet, and missing. Aurelius (2547), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Aug 27, 2008 Clear dark brown, thin lacy head. Roasty, nutty sweet, very good balance. Some cranberry tones in terms of tartness and astringency. Light coffee. Medium mouth. Deftly done, the best beer of the 9 or so they had on tap this go round. ilovedarkbeer (937), Dallas, Texas, USA Apr 20, 2008 As far as a scotch ale goes, I like mine much more smokey, roasted, malty, dark and sweet. This beer was outstanding in almost none of these catergories. I could barely distinguish this beer from the amber. Reddish brown color that is somewhat hazy and has no lacing. Nose is matly and sweet. Taste is woody, caramel and grapes but very muted. Not impressed but I will say at 7.2 this is very drinkable. BMan1113VR (1321), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA Apr 19, 2008 Presented as their Wee Heavy Scotch Ale at the brewpub with a 7.2% ABV. Pours with a hazy amber body and a small off-white head. Peaty and sweet aroma with a taste of peat, caramel and grapes. Watery mouthfeel. popephred (152), Plainfield, Illinois, USA Jul 7, 2007 Poured from tap in Grapevine, TX. Produced an ale with a dark golden brown body with light carbonation, topped with a small white head of foam. Little aroma, but could detect some sweetness and malt later in the sitting. This ale had a heavy sweetness to it with a strong roasted malt flavor. The character of the ale developed as it warmed, improving its taste and aroma.
