Dec 15, 2008 Bottle. Rough. I have never had a Scotch Ale quite this burly before. Almost a tartness to the charcoal and peat that is likely a result of the too-bright red color. Lacks the velvety texture usually found.

Dec 11, 2008 Updated: Feb 6, 200912 oz bottle, pours dark brown, cannot see through it. Frothy tan head. Aroma of brown sugar, malt, and figs, with some slight smoke. Taste of roasted malt, dark fruit, and brown sugar, with slight hop finish. Medium to heavy body, with nice carbonation. Overall, a very nice scotch ale, I would drink more of this!
Update: I got a 1/2 barrel of this for my kegerator, and tapped it tonight. On draft, I am enjoying this even more!

Dec 8, 2008 Clear brown with a thick off-white head. Chocolate and roasty aroma with burnt sugar, toffee and caramel. Super sweet cocoa and chocolate taste. Coffee and roasted malts abound. Pretty damned good, but not really a Scotch Ale.

Dec 7, 2008 Clear brown, no head. Smoky, grapey aroma. Fruity flavor at first, then smokey, earthy notes. Stay woodsy and rustic throughout. Nice stuff, very tasty.
