Jun 5, 2009 Bottle at PPRBSG09. Pours a murky brown. Aroma of diacetyl and sweet malt. Flavor of roasted malt and sweet caramel malt. Ok for a scotch ale (admittedly not my favorite style).

Jun 5, 2009 Best thing about this is the flavor and palate. Nice and smooth/thick mouthfeel. Tons of dark fruity flavors mixed in with some vanilla. Never really seems cloying. Palate is amazingly clean.

Jun 4, 2009 I believe this was poured from a growler: Murky brown with a tan head. Chewy aroma- peat, caramel, dark fruits- creamy body. Rich yet balanced flavor of big caramel, vanilla notes, light peat, prune and other various dark fruits. Earthy on the back. A nice Scotch Ale.

Jun 2, 2009 Thanks to juiceisloose for this one - shared at Peter’s NY gathering - a very turbid pour - quite sweet, even for a scotch ale, but that is really my only complaint - low carbonation, with a smooth mouthfeel - a lot of caramel, toffee, and plum, on top of a soft peaty and smoky character - a bit of roasted nuts and cherries - quite earthy, but the smoke phenols take a back seat to the sweetness.

May 31, 2009 Rich scotch-amber with tanned, creme brulee foam head. Musky bouquet of malt and candi malt. Buffeted veins of fruitiness, some prune, caramel, and cherry chocolate. Rich, velvey mouthfeel. Full-bodied. Candi-malt at the front of the palate. A wave of varied caramel malts with some specks of cherry chocolate glides over the taste buds. Top-notch Scotch ale.

May 31, 2009 PPRBSG. My first Cigar City. Dark brune body with a tan head. Chewy scotch notes light smoke and caramel with some berry sweetness. Chewy smooth caramel with a light peat and chewy fruit. I am not a scotch ale fan but this is fantastic for what it is, or at least i thought so.
