Bottle (750 ml). Thanks to TheCPJ for trading me this one! Dark brown with a small beige head and nice lacing. Aroma is full of caramel and toffee with hints of smoke. Taste is sweet with heavy caramel, toffee, raisins, hints of cherries and slight smokey notes. This is a sugar bomb... share the bottle. Pretty good Scotch Ale!

3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a translucent brown with slight reddish hue from the bottle, with nice, fluffy, off-white head and mediocre lacing. The commercial description has good tasting notes as long you get a good bottle of it. So my overall, it was wonderful, definitely worth a try, but not sure I would come back to it again and again.
