Bomber from Case and Keg.
Pours dark brown with a redish tint and a big lasting head. Decently carbonated this stuff smells terrific with notes of caramel, alcohol and yeast. Taste is intersting because the alcohol is completely gone, starts off very belgian with the typical dark fruit and yeast and ends with a really nice long caramel finish. This is probably not the most complex brew its a really great belgian take on a scotch ale, I think its even a touch better than the Canaster Winter Scotch. Very tasty and very good!
3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
750 ml bottle from Total Wine. Poured a dark, rawhide brown color and a massive head with decent staying power. Yeasty aroma. Flavors provide subtle caramel notes, soy sauce, generic yeast strain, and molasses in the finish. Medium/high carbonation and medium/full body. This is a Scotch Ale? Good, if forgettable.
4.7 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 20/20
This is a really fantastic beer, very complex in flavor. Nice balance of hops and malt. Has flavors of bananas, figs. and plum. Very complex and delicious.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
75cl bottle. Opaque brown with a tenacious beige head composed of quite small bubbles. Plenty of sediment, and lace as well. The aroma is a lot of dough and wine, with some malt sweetness. The flavor is yeasty with some alcohol, and the malts feed a little sweet caramel into the equation. Peppery and dry aftertaste. The body felt pretty light and smooth for the abv, and this makes it drink like a much lighter beer. An interesting beer. The yeast really dominated the flavor for me, as opposed to dark, smokey malts as I would expect in a scotch. Definitely Belgian in origin. I would try it again, but it’s not cheap around here.

750 ml. bottle, bb 2009, tight foam with a winey nose and first sip, very good body and excellent smooth finish with hops and caramel, an outstanding ale
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap in a Providence resturant. Dark almost porter color. Fruity, sweet, spiced scent. Tastes similiar to scent except more of a sweet taste, maybe caramel and a smokey plum or grape. Very nice, will go back to drink again.
