12oz bottle. Pours deep dark brown color with a creamy head. Roasted and slight coffee aroma. Very full bodied with a rich flavor and hints of scotch. Heavy but smooth.

dark brown with nice notes of caramel on the nose. A malty sweetness is heavy on the palate with some light cocoa and espresso on the long finish.

Dark brown beer with a thick head. Smells like chocolate and coffee. Flavor has hints of fruit with plenty of chocolate. Nice thick mouthfeel.

Poured from a 12oz. bottle into a pint glass. The color is dark brown with a light foamy white head. With no lacing. The smell is a bit caramel, with a small fruit flavor in the background. The taste is a bit sweet with a roasted malt feel and a nice brown sugar flavor. The feel of this beer is a nice and even. The beer is a strong but not too overwhelming is really drinkable.

Very, very good beer considering the availability. Very tasty, no need to describe what others have already described. Looks great, smells good, tastes great, simple but that’s not a complaint. I

12oz bottle into a pint glass. Nice scotch ale - sweet with a kick and a touch of smoke.

Bottle. 8%. Dark brown/black pour (colour of an irish stout) with a bubbly tan foam with medium retention. Aroma is roasted malts, toffee. Taste is quite sweet at first, malt and toffee, full bodied. I enjoyed this beer more as it started to warm. Lingering sweetness with a hint of nuts (almonds?). I don’t know if I can put it down... ohhh. It’s all gone. Simple, sweet, and delicious.
