3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Copper red with a fizzy white head. Sweet malty aroma and taste with notes of caramel and roasted grain and a smooth palate.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours deep red with an off white head. Aroma is caramel, with hints of dark fruit. Flavor is nice, malty caramel with hints of roastiness and a slight hint of earthiness. Not much peat or smoke for a scotch ale, but a great brew and a steal for 6.99 a growler at liquor barn.
2.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 7/20
On tap at Ditto’s, Louisville. Aroma of caramel, light chocolate and liquored toffee. Appearance is brown-red with virtually no head or carbonation. Flavor matched the nose; nothing sticks out; nothing noteworthy. Palate was nice and bubbly. A beer that needs some work and consistency.

Draft cask sample at brewpub. Poured clear dark brown with an minimal fizzy brown head that mostly lasted with fair lacing. Light to moderate toasted woody malty aroma. Medium to full smooth body. Flavor was a good toasted balance of bitter and sweet with an average bittersweet finish of moderate duration.
