Style: Scotch Ale
Lyons, Colorado USA

Serve in Thistle

Great malty perfect for winter. High abv but you would never know. Darker then most scott style ales.

Definite unique smoke flavor, heavy body, no noticeable alcohol overtone as I’ve often had with American made Scotch Ales. Probably the most enjoyable beer I’ve had in or out of a can.

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome! What a great beer! I really enjoyed trying this one. In fact, I wanted another as soon as I finished. I was really surprised to get such a great flavored, nice body beer out of a can!

This is one of my favorite beers... I keep a lot of this stocked up at all time... love the taste...

Beautiful, oh, my yes. Some sediment; been aged a month or four. Lovely opaque espresso colour, tan head. Chocolate toffee coffee scent, very nice. As it warms it gets better. Rich palate, alcohol is well-hidden, some carbonation matched with substantial malt flavours. Tops.

UPDATED: AUG 19, 2007 12 oz bottle via JOHNyKAT (hey this guy sends me a package for no reason exept that he is cool..f%&$8n’ hey!!!! thanks, mr kat YOU RULE!). Pours A DEEP DARK BROWN WITH A LARGE BEIGE HEAD. Nose is heavy chocolate malt(nuts), phenols, and yeast. Hmm, this is weird as it tastes like an easy drinking vanilla flavored porter but with much more going on...quite nice. Med body, low carbonation..i love this one but i dont like scotch ales, so whaT DOES THIS MEAN...?!!!!!! I DON’T really know, but i like this beer, it is good at 3 AM on an August night:=)

Yes to all of the above descriptions... however what is nice about this beer that that each sip is better and better. There isn’t a point whereas the taste falls off and what I like most is that it is soooooo unassuming. The beer is complicated yet simple. It just tastes very yummy. The semi sweet flavor is robust and mild all at the same time. The finish is clean and only up front do you sense a crispness on the tongue. The finish is smooth, mellow and generally dayum good.

Pours a blood brown color with big dense tawny frothy. The aroma a little yeasty integrated with sweet malt. It’s an off dry (fruity, semi sweet) brew with a diverse flavor profile. It’s luscious and malty right up front with a slight hoppiness to follow. Then the earthy barnyard flavors protrude releasing complexities to include fresh biscuits, sourdough, and a wet campfire. The finish is long with a slight fruity bitterness. Alcohol is well hidden. This is the best canned beer I’ve ever had. I laughed when I tasted it. It’s so tastey. You’d never believe it was canned. I highly recommend this brew.
