COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Dark Burgundy in color. Aged in a bourbon barrel for 6 months, this wonderfully large version of a Scotch ale would be understated as a 120 Shilling Ale.

On draft at R & H. Pours a deep maple amber with no head. Aroma of dark fruit notes, caramel, bread dough and toffee notes. Taste is much the same as the aroma.

murphym45 (767) - New York, New York, USA - MAY 2, 2011
Tap at Rattle for the Kuhnhenn takeover. Pours brown with a bit of tan head. Aroma is mild with some caramel and sweet malt, nutty, earthy. Taste is more of the same, a pretty decent scotch ale.

blipp (3920) - Newark, New Jersey, USA - MAY 1, 2011
Draft. Pours brown with a thin head. Sweet malty aroma, with earthy, huskey, toast, and toffee. The flavor has sweet malts, light fleshy fruity notes, toasted breads, and earthy notes. Not bad.

Streets (24) - New York, New York, USA - APR 28, 2011
A mahogany pour with off- white lacing. Taste has a complex, smoky scotch undertone that does not take away from the bold nutty flavor

jredmond (2828) - Manhattan, New York, USA - APR 27, 2011
Draft at RnH with Streets, Andrew, and Brendan during the Kuhnhenn Total Tap Takeover Event. Pours a hazy red body with no head. Aroma is light with nice notes of malts, sweet flavors, and smooth earthy tones.

Smooth and silky scotch ale. Toasted malts and sweet subtle cherry notes. Sessionable and delightful.

MaltOMeal (1074) - Land of Sugar, Texas, USA - FEB 16, 2010
bottle thanks to alexsdad. Pours black with a tan head. Nose was of sour cherry? For a Scotch Ale? Uh oh! Taste was of peat and malt underneath a prominent sour vinegar. Dang! Mouthfeel was super dry, medicinal and carbonated. Did not taste like a Scotch Ale as it was infected. Drainpour! thanks a lot, Kuhnhenn for your crappy QC!

bierkoning (8109) - La Tropica, NETHERLANDS - JAN 17, 2010
Bottle from TheCheeseMan, thanks! Brown color. Caramel and dried figs in the aroma. Very sweet flavor with apple syrup, dried figs and caramel. Sticky mouthfeel. The sweetness hides the alcohol, but also all other flavors, and is too overwhelming.

Drake (5231) - Charlottesville, Virginia, USA - DEC 11, 2009
December 2008 bottle courtesy of alexsdad06. Thanks! Pours a dark brown color with a thin, persistent head. Decent lacing. Aroma of caramel, nougat, bourbon, wood, faint booze. Taste is caramel, toffee, cherries, leafy hops, very faint bourbon in the finish. Medium bodied.
