3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Had my first one yesterday. Got a 4 pack for $3.99. Yes, that’s right... $3.99. Nice pop to the bottle. Dark pour to a tan 1 finger head. Nose was molasses and malt all the way. Some prune, little chocolate but mostly molasses. Initial taste was strong like a scotch ale should be. This ale is right in the sweet spot of the style. The taste sticks with you so it’s heavy on the tonge. Carb was a little low which was perhaps why the taste was clinging, but it might have been just that bottle. Downed the rest of the ale without much trouble - it’s a bit on the sweet side for me but excellent and for the price, it’s a flipping must have. Go buy this ALE!

12oz. Pour is deep ruby brown with a thick caramel colored head. Aromas of rasins, sweet fruits, caramel, and plum. Flavor is well balanced with smoke, earthy hops, rasin, plum, and sugars. Alcohol is hidden very well. At $5.49 a 4-pack this one is a steal.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
12 oz bottle from Canal’s Hainesport. Pours a deep brown with some dark ruby edges and a large foamy beige head that has some decent staying power. Aroma is strong with lots dark fruit, earth, peat, corn syrup, molassess and rum. Full body with a chewy mouthfeel and average carbonation, some noticable alcohol. Flavors of raisin, prunes, burnt caramel, peat and slight hint of smoke. This is one solid beer but it seems a tad bit hot for only being 8%.

Just the right amount of alcohol taste. Poured a clear dark brown with good tan head, bitter ending. Worth a look if you see it around.
