Sampled at an esbls tasting. Cola colored with a smallish tan head. A malty nose with peat. Lots of malt in the flavor, too but the peat is absent. A hint of cocoa. This is nice but is one dimensional.

16oz can pours deep copper mahogany with thin tan head. The modest aroma has some roasted malts, nuttiness and sweet dark fruity esters. The taste has some roasty malts mixing with nuttiness and crystal malts rolling into prunes and raisins and a light yeast spiciness. A note of earthiness would help complete the experience in my eyes.

Head pours out thick and beige with a vigorous pour, fades quickly. Beer is dark copper, rich and clear. Aroma is brown sugar and malt, with light roastiness. Light roastiness again on the tongue, malt and brown sugar with a light sweetness, but overall balanced. No discernable hop flavor. Medium body and crisp carbonation. Flavorful without overwhelming, very drinkable. A definite favorite of mine.

Thanks to javit for this one in trade. Cheers, Adam! Pours a cola brown with red highlights and an off-white head. Nose is smoked malt, slight maple, slight peat, a hint of smoke, and some sweet dark malt. Flavor is similar- smoked malt, some earth, and some dark cherries with a hint of peat up front followed by sweet malt and slight smoke in the mid and finishing off with dark malt and cherries in the finish. A pretty good scotch ale overall.
