3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Murky brown body with a moderate head. Lacing was good. Aroma was spices, sugars, and caramel.. to me this was like any other Belgian brown ale. I really didn’t find this that interesting, but it was good for what it was.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
brown colored pour, sort of weak tasting and smelling. malty as hell, no real alcohol presence, fruity sort of. i dont know this is a style that i am not really keen on, and actually i didnt know it was this style when i got it. on style points id give this a 3.8 or 4, but i dont really enjoy it as much as i have other beers, so ill rate based on that.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Aroma of banana, caramel, and some hops. Pours a dark brown with a soapy off-white head. Head quickly disappears. Adequate lacing. Flavors of dark fruit, banana, and caramel malts. Too sweet for a scotch ale. Nice beer though.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Not what I expected at all. Pours a cloudy dark brown color with a creamy foamy tan head. Smells of sour wheat and tastes like wheat, sugar, and raisens. The beer is somewhat watery and soft and I would have never guessed that this was 8.5. Alcohol is well hidden and refreshing. This is a scotch ale?
