COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
With a coppery-amber color and a full malty body with flavors of nuts and toffee. The English hops lend enough “spice” to leave a very drinkable finish to this comfort food of a beer. Available on draft from November to May.

UPDATED: DEC 8, 2011 On tap at Sidebar in Buffalo. An orangey/brown pour with a white head. Smells malty, tastes malty as well. It has a sweet taste, hard to put a finger on it. Kinda nutty in the flavor. Creamier mouthfeel than I expected. It wasn’t exceptional, but not that bad.

Growler fill from consumers in N.F. Pours copper orange with a beige head. Sweet malty aroma with a hint of toast. The flavor is malty, both sweet and toasty, with a light herbal hoppy note. Decent.

boozy brew. tastes like someone dumped a shot of scotch in my beer. I can see why this is illegal in some states.

On tap @ Coles Buffalo NY. One of the better if not the best offering from Flying Bison. Deep amber, toastiness, slight smoke, mild to medium sugar sweetness. Not bad

blankboy (4454) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - NOV 21, 2007
Draught at Cole’s, Buffalo, NY. Pours a slightly hazy dark orange-amber with an average size diminishing off-white head. Mild aroma of lightly toasted caramel malt, light smoke and chocolate. Flavour of toasty caramel, some hops, roasted brown sugar and just a hint of smoke. Medium bodied. Nice enough version of the style, I enjoyed it.

jb (1606) - Rochester, New York, USA - APR 5, 2007
Had a growler fill from BOTW. Nice reddish beer with a thick head. Aroma purely of malt. Palate is malty with some hops that surprised me, not used to tasting them in Scotch’s.

On-tap at Pizza Plant. Off white beige with big soapy head. Scotch and malt aroma. Like a Barleywine taste,with peat and hops and a sour finish.
