Dark amber, light small bubbled head. Malty nose with a floral note. Malty flavor just a little toasted flavor and a subdued hop bitterness. But still more hops than is typical for the style. Overall a good example of an American version of a Scotch ale

Pours hazy dark amber with a dense off-white head. Aroma of smoke-infused caramel. Sweet, lightly smoky caramel, nuts and all manner of malty goodness. This one really hit the spot.

Thanks go out to thethrone for this bottle
I poured it into a snifter and it produced a finger worth of white head that turned to a thick lace. The body was a burgandy brown when held to the light
Nice malty nose touch of dark fruits and a light roasted note filled my head. The flavor followed the nose to a "T" the medium body with good carbonation.
Quite drinkable, nice kick back and relax brew which is what I want right now.
Thanks again Throne

Draft. Poured a storm cloud gray body with hints of amber and a frothy off-white head. Aroma was smokey roast barley, caramel malt, and slightly coniferous. Flavor was again smokey roast barley, sweet caramel malt, and slightly piney. Palate was somewhat weak bodied and finished a little too phenolic. Overall still a good scotch ale.
