Bottle. Pours red with a beige head. Sweet toffee malts dominate the aroma, along with some earthy notes. The flavor has sweet toffee up front, with earthy and toasty notes. Pretty good.

Bottle poured a clear reddish amber with a lasting amber head. Aromas of carmel, toffee, brown sugar, light frtuittiness and a hint of spice. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of carmel, nuts, brown sugar, toffee and a hint of fruittiness with a smooth lingering carmely finish.

On tap. Pours a clear red with a quickly disappearing tan head. Very sweet aroma, roasted malt and caramel. Big bodied, sticky sweet with tons of malt; toffee on the finish. Alcohol is well hidden. Not very balanced, but who’s complaining?

Bottle thanks to dpjuart, thanks Dave. Poured a clear red-orange color with a thin beige head that faded to a layer. Sweet, light caramel malt aroma with some light peat, brown sugar, and a hint of fruit (apple). Smooth, sweet entry with some light caramel, a hint of brown sugar, and some light fruity undertones (apple). No peat or smoke present in the flavor. Moderate carbonation and decent mouthfeel. Average scotch, bringing nothing new to the table.

Light reddish bronze colored beer. The head is of a very light tan. Notes of toast and smoke in the nose. Flavor is strongly malty, sweet, with notes of caramel, toast, brown sugar. It’s a nicely balanced beer, but could benefit from a beefier body, natural carbonation. Decent Wee Heavy.

Bottle from Liquid Solutions. Clear reddish copper color with a thin beige head. Aromas of caramel and fruit. Full bodied with creamy carbonation. Flavor is berry or cherry over light roasted caramel. More barley wine than scotch - not getting much smoke. Smooth finish.
