Jan 11, 2009 12 oz. bottle courtesy of a trade with moejuck. Pours a deep red-tinted amber with a moderate off-white head that lasted until about mid-glass and left partial lace. Pleasant aroma of malt and brown sugar with just a hint of earthy peat. The flavor is very nice with malt, brown sugar, dates, and a stronger dose of smoke and peat than the aroma suggests. Some mild alcohol warming towards the finish, especially as the beer sits for a bit. Enjoyable!

Jan 1, 2009 Pours dark brown with off-white head. Aroma is of malty sweetness, fruits, some liquor and plenty of hops. Flavor is similar, with a bit of peet and grapefruit. Slight bitter finish. Very good.

Jan 1, 2009 Dark amber color with a big tan head. Aromas of malts, caramel, surprisingly strong on the hops, and whiff of woody scotch. Flavor is pretty similar. Again, a surprising amount of hops. I thought the scotch flavor left me with a very dry mouth.

Dec 31, 2008 Good Scotch ale. Pours amber with a thin head. Aroma is mainly malt. Flavor of malt, caramel, dark fruit, and some sugar. Had a lot more body than a normal scotch ale. Good stuff.

Dec 18, 2008 draft at barleys in greenville. pours a dark red/ruby color with a bubbly tan head and decent lacing. aroma us definitely malt dominated with chestnuts, caramel malt, coffee, and dark fruit. flavors of rye bread, cinnamon, dark malts, and brown sugar that finished with a touch of hops. a very complex beer with a heavy mouthfeel that has a rich flavor. good for a winter night by the fire.
