Draught. Peat smoke and caramel in the nose, smokiness is subdued enough to keep from being overbearing. Clear ruby red with a thin brown head. Full-bodied with a nice balance between sweetness, smoke, and booze. it implies scotch, and implies it well with out seeming forced. A great slow sipper.

Pours a very light brown with some thin lacing at the edges. Strong whiskey aroma. Light carbonation. Tastes of light caramel, coconut, and bourbon. A little peaty too.

(draught) rich amber/copper with soapy tan bubbles. Nose of caramel Nd turbinado sugar with touch of vanilla and whiskey. Taste is super rich, caramel, vanilla, whiskey, brown sugar, cream soda. Delicious palate linger. Really excellent beer!!

Ooh wow! Rich caramel flavor was the first thing I noticed about this beer. Its dark caramel in color and pours with a small head. A little charcoal wood and smokiness come out later. It drinks slow and well.
