Angeloregon (1694), Portland, Oregon, USA Aug 1, 2008 Sampled at the brewery in Port Townsend, WA--Poured a rich brown-amber body with a small fluffy off-white head. Roasty, toasty, toffee, coffee, Smokey nose. Sweet, creamy mouthfeel. Finished clean with mild lingering smokiness. tiffanya (40), Sumner, Washington, USA May 6, 2008 22-oz bottle from 99 Bottles in Federal Way, Wash. Roasty flavors of toffee, coffee, barley, and peat. Sweet and sticky heavy alcohol notes lean toward whiskey and Kahlua. Hints of molasses and dark chocolate. Smooth and tasty. An easy drinker. riversideAK (1503), Shoreline, Washington, USA Apr 5, 2008 On cask. Looked like the picture to the left except mine had a great fluffy head from the cask. Aroma of sweeter dark malts, chocolate, caramel, with nice mild smoke accompanying everything. Flavor is a mix of sweet and smokey. A nice malty scotch ale. I liked the way the smoke balanced off the sweetness. Creamy and incredibly smooth. BrewDad (1600), Olympia, Washington, USA Mar 8, 2008 22oz Bomber - Gravity Beer Market - Olympia, WA
Aroma – Nice light smoked peet with a dark malt aroma.
Appearance – Dark brown in color, Nice head and clear.
Flavor – A good smoked malty flavor had some good use of hops and the overall flavor was very good. A tad watery also. Must be a bottling issue.
Palate – Nice Mouthfeel, good texture with a dry finish.
Overall – This was a very ice Scotch ale. Liked the flavors the smokiness was very nice.
