Sep 3, 2009 2005 Bottle at the RB Rochester Gathering, Aug. 30/ 09. Thanks, JB! Reddish-brown in color with a medium beige head and good retention. Earthy, malty aroma with caramel and wood. Flavor is lots of caramel malt with woody notes, brown sugar, and a hint of smoke. Creamy with a full palate. A very good scotch ale.

Sep 2, 2009 Flaske: Rødlig brun øl med et fint skumhoved. Duft af frugt og masser af malt. Alkoholen er en kende for dominerende i smagen, hvor den eneste humle man kan ane er bitterhumlen, forholdsvis bitter af en så sød øl.

Sep 1, 2009 Bottle at Dayton Ale Fest. Pours a rich, dark brown with a very small tan head. Aroma is toaseted malts and caramel. Notes of oak, spices, and brown sugar come out. On the palate it is dry. The taste brings out a bit of the spices and it finishes dry. Overall, this is an alright Scotch Ale.

Aug 31, 2009 Bottle at the RB Rochester Gathering, Sept. 09. Thanks, JB. Red-orange tinted amber. Nose or caramel and fruits. Dry, hoppy, and roasted with good caramel. Rich and tasty, smooth, fruity. Good bitter finish. Lovely stuff.

Aug 30, 2009 What an amazingly balanced beer this is. It’s complex and thick, and the alcohol is well-disguised but with just enough presence that it subtly enhances the flavor. The hop content is pitch-perfect. Color is beautiful, and it tastes much better than it smells. Awesome brew.

Aug 29, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a dark amber with a small, lasting tan head. Nice, pervasive aromas of clover honey and caramel. Has a wonderfully thick, mouth feel. Strong tastes of sweet malt, caramel, allspice, and vanilla. Lighter on the hops, but enough to balance the sweetness well. Finishes with a nice bitterness and a sweet alcohol burn--comparable to the taste of scotch. I love it.
