Dark amber with nice head.
Very efficient malt based nose. Nice alcohol and bitterness balances the malts.
Quite complex malt taste, but the winner for this beer is the long aftertasted.
I am in no way an expert on the style, but this seems a bit "American" for a Scotch ale? Any way, I like it a lot.
It is in no way an "easy drink". Each sip reveals more and more. Mayby it just benefits from the increasing temperature?
Actually the higher the temperature, the more the hops kick in. I have experienced that a few times. Is that a well-known secret? In any way, I like it more the warmer it gets.
My second Founders, and I will definately still seek out available Founders beers in Copenhagen. Really well-made beer.

Oct 24, 2009 Bottle in Beer Temple, A’dam. Amber body with slight head. Malty nose and sticky head. Quite sweet with lots of caramel and malt taste. Sticky. With a smooth finish.

Oct 19, 2009 Bottle@Home. Full, thick, syrupy. That’s what first comes to mind. Besides that rather bitter and malty. But the main thing with this beer is sweetness. Very sweet! Luckily the bitterness hides it a bit. Flavourful but not complex.

Oct 18, 2009 Bottle. Pours cloudy amber with thick tan head. Aroma of malt, some smoke. Body is thick and creamy. Taste of caramel malts, oak and spice, not too sweet. Very well balanced, finish and smooth and warming.

Oct 18, 2009 Wonderful sipping beer for fall. Dark in appearance, aroma, and taste--malty with enough hops for balance, resulting in a smoky flavor conveyed in a creamy thick palate. The greater than 8 percent ABV is well-hidden.

Oct 17, 2009 Pours a clear reddish amber. Caramel malt, must grass, fruit, toffee, bread, and a bit of oak. Some bitter hops at the back. Nice beer well made, but Im not a big fan of the style.
