Can. Heavy malt aromas of roasted, molasses, and mild coffee, moderate hops and yeast of resin and earth, with notes of raisin, toffee, and vanilla. Head is large, creamy, off-white, with fair lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is dark brown. Flavor is moderately sweet and lightly acidic to start and finishes moderately sweet and lightly bitter. Palate is medium, between watery and almost syrupy and has a lively carbonation. A deep maltiness and well rounded flavors makes this one of the best Scotch Ales I’ve tried.

Sep 5, 2008 Had on tap at JP Henleys and shared by Dragonstout. Thanks Brian! This is the first beer I have had from this brewer. Poured a dark brown with thin head. Aroma was roasted nuts and toffee. Flavor was slight milk chocolate, caramel, and cream. Very good and very drinkable.

Sep 3, 2008 Can bought at LIC. It pours very dark brown with a creamy beige head. Aroma is very malty with caramel, wood, peat and a bit smoke. Silky smooth mouthfeel. In the flavour I sense beechwood, a bit sweet chocolate, some smoke and overripe fruit. Bit insipid aftertaste.

Sep 1, 2008 355 mL can, drunk from the can, so I don’t really know the colour. Aroma is toffee and sweet, roasted malt. Flavour is sweetish caramel, brown sugar, a touch of smoke, and some candied fruit. Alcohol is invisible. Medium to full body. Medium to low carbonation. Great canned beer.
