black pour with some off white froth. mostly grapes on the nose. no real smoky scent or taste.

Pours a transparent dark copper mahogany with a spotty-lacing froth of light tan head. Aroma of sweet caramel and light fruity tartness with a hint of smoky peat. Body starts with good fullness and rich caramel malty sweetness balanced with some light and dark fruity complexity toward a sticky finish with lingering earthy peaty notes. A nice Scotch ale.

The most striking feature about this beer is its very high alcohol content. That being said, the beer has a rich, sweet flavor that helps mask it. Pours a dark opaque brown color with little head. Aroma is light but sweet, with very little hops evident. Palate is good and it almost tastes like caramel going down. Good option if you want a strong beer- I wouldnt recommed drinking more than one however as it can be burdensome.

very strong alcohol% and that’s a good thing. This beer smells the same as it tastes. It’s sweet but at the same time has a strong bold taste and goes down easy with no bad after taste.

Has a sweet sticky taste that masks the high alcohol content very well. Feels very full in the mouth.

Dark brown ale with a disappearing light brown head. Aroma is caramel and roasted malt. Caramel, roasted flavor. Smooth mouthfeel. No discernible hop. Finish is sweet with alcohol warmth.

Not too bad if not one I would drink regularly Very much a whisky nose and it has the sweetness of scotch for certain. Beautful coloring and fairly smooth. Not one to be guzzled because of how heavy it is but I didn’t find it hard to get down. it provided a unique experence.

From bottle. Sweet aroma of malt and liquorice. dark brown in colour with a thin white head. Thick texture, sweet fruity flavour, malts and raisins. Warming scotch ale. Easy to drink considering the strength. Finish of plums. Tasty scotch ale.
