bottle at the deli in state college for a meet the brewers event. pour a very murky white. The beer smells huge of vanilla and caramel and alcohol. taste is very sweet like maple syrup. It goes down hot due to the alcohol but you don’t really taste the alcohol you just feel it.

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.

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.
