Apr 23, 2009 Very good aromas and flavors of peat and butterscotch. Nice full mouthfeel. Overall a very good scotch ale.

Apr 23, 2009 12 oz bottle. Ah, one of my favorite scotch ales (only topped by Backwoods Bastard). Pours a dark brown (with hints of red) color with a tiny off white head the disappears immediately. Smells of light smoky hops, some caramel malt, a little dried fruit, and a bit of alcohol. Tastes of light hops, though the smoke was more prevalent, a bit of malt, the fruit kind of disappeared, and the alcohol was masked. Very smooth going down, and is my definition of what a scotch ale should be.

Apr 21, 2009 Updated: May 25, 2009On tap at Coasters (poured into a Duvel glass). Pours dark reddish-brown with a 1/4 inch white head. Sweet aroma with very light hops. Flavor is sweet with moderate hop bitterness. Extremely well balanced. Alcohol is well hidden. Not my favorite style but a very good Scotch Ale.

Apr 19, 2009 Reddish-brown pour with a tan head that ended up leaving a nice lace. Slight smoke and malt aroma. Flavors go well together- smokiness, malt, and then sweetness at the end. Leaves a nice refreshing aftertaste. Alcohol is not noticeable.

Apr 17, 2009 Beautiful ruby red color. Nice head on there as well with some beautiful lacing down the glass. A bit of hops in there as well as a sweet malty flavor. Medium bodied. Just what I woulid expect from an American scotch ale.

Apr 7, 2009 Nice pour... murky mahogany with a light orange-hued tan cap that leaves ring lace down the glass. The nose is thick with sweet molasses notes, with other dark fruits, figs and malts. Interesting flavor palate.... it comes off first as dry, just shy of roasted, with a twinge of alcohol to keep the bitters upfront. The effervescence of sweetness is never really lost, though, and the integration of the two contrasts is nice. The peat shows up in the finish, complementing the linear feel of the pull. Good brew overall, with the ABV well-integrated, and a medium-lively mouthfeel. As the body feels toward the medium to medium-soft side, this brew really exploits the contrasts and differences that end up complementing one another so well.

Apr 4, 2009 pours a reddish brown with a small tan head. heavy aroma of roasted malts and some earthy notes that i cant quite place. nice rich malt sweetness pushes through the smokey earth tones to give a nice complex scotch style.
