10 oz snifter glass at the brewery taproom. ABV listed as 7.7 on the board at the taproom. Enjoyed with my boss after a day of selling brewing supplies! This was a great brew.. Its a beautiful red-brown with beige head, and a nice malty aroma. The flavor is sweet malt and caramel with a little booze. Not too sweet but just right, and delicious. I didn’t detect any coffee flavors, and I am a real coffee fiend. Its what you expect and want in a Scotch Ale.. An excellent effort by Intuition Ale Works. The only way it could have been better is if they served it in a real pint glass.

Tap at Intuition. Poured a clear copper with a small, beige head. Nose gives off some impending infecting bacteria. Strange, heavy umami off character like iodine/seaweed/saltwater and sea vegetables. Taste is sugary maple with odd sourness/lactic acidity. Infected batch probably.

UPDATED: OCT 26, 2011 Had to re-rate after reading yayforbeers and realizing what I wrote. Growler from the brewery. Pours a deep reddish brown with two fingers of off-white head and great lacing. Smells of sweet malts and a little roastiness. Taste is caramel malts that turns to bready malts and a little hop bitterness. Toffee is ever present throughout. It warms on the way down due to the booziness. Nice smooth palate and excellent finish. I bought a growler and drank the whole thing myself...I just couldn’t stop. This is one of my favorites from Intuition.
