pours a dark caramel color with a one finger creamy tan head. aroma is toasted caramel malt with a touch of hops and dark fruits. it has a medium to heavy body with descent lacing and carbonation. flavor is the same as aroma but stronger and has some peat to it. it is somewhat oily on the palate and a bit flat, but not to bad of a scotch ale. the malt sticks to the tongue for a bit. as it warms there is some maple syrup aroma and flavor, and the aroma does get a bit stronger. this is not my style but from the other couple of scotch ales i have had this is underrated. might i also add that this brewery puts out really good beers and especially for the price, anywhere from $3.99-$5.69 a bomber!

Nov 29, 2008 kind of dull and uninteresting. Caramel, toffee, smokey, medium sweet and the finish is somewhat bitter.

Nov 27, 2008 Bottle at the Burger Bar in Las Vegas. Cherry red color with a small tan head. Aroma is sweet malt with some hints of smoke and vanilla. Flavor is creamy, roasted malt with a smoky astringence and a sweet toffee finish. Light carbonation and on the low end of medium bodied. A bit sweet for a scotch ale but a good beer that I would enjoy again.

Nov 20, 2008 deep dark hazy apricot color, slight off-white head that quickly dissolves into tiny bubbles around rim. sour fruit aroma , sweet malt, airy and mild. first flavor is a vinous assault, followed quickly by sweet malt. once the beer warms, the flavor turns creamy malt, but still vinous. full bodied, dry finish. not sure the brewer created a scotch ale here, but a tasty brew nonetheless.

Nov 18, 2008 Updated: Nov 19, 2008Crushed with Jakebra. You want some scotch in your scotch ale? Here is it. Dirty Bastard, it is not, but it also won’t quite lift your kilt. Still a very nice, not subtle scotch ale.

Nov 1, 2008 Thanks to Ezra for sharing this bottle at his Scotch tasting. Poured a deep brown mildly chestnut hue with a thin taupe head. Satisfyingly smoky and rich. Malt driven and wonderfully flavorsome.
