POured a clear red color with an off white head. Aroma is some caramel, peat,and alcohol. Flavor is pretty sweet and unbalanced and does not hide the alcohol very well.

Pours a transparent copper amber with a thin, spotty-lacing white head. Aroma of sweet caramely malt with a touch of grainy notes, earthy hops, and some alcohol. Body starts with decent fullness and earthy toasty notes with a touch of peat and some warming peppery alcohol toward the finish. A pretty decent Scotch ale, but could hide the alcohol a little better.

Pours an amber red color with a tan head. Aroma is malty, toasty, and some earthy hops. Flavor is malty, caramel, toast, and a bitter earthy finish.
