COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A strong ale that starts out sweet and malty with an alcoholic warming in the finish. Very smooth going down but it packs quite a kick.

On tap at rohrbach's pub. Pours mahogany amber with small off white head. Nose is sweet with additions of raisin and toffee. Taste follows with a plum and faint stone fruit. Well balanced and a strong body. Solid.

Red-brown, small tan head. Aroma is ok although underwhelming, sweet malts and bourbon-like. Medium body, little bit sweet and sticky. Flavor is mostly on the sweet side, buttery-malt flavors typical of scotch ale but somehow despite that is a little on the thin side. Some warm alcohol in finish. Not bad, nothing special.

From a growler at BotW. Clear brown pour, little to no head. Smells pretty good, sweet caramel. Feels quite thin after expecting some heft from the label. Ok taste, got the hallmark scotch flavours, but not as big as I?d hoped, and tinged with a soapy vibe. Defo not a repeater, but I live 100s of miles away so the chances aren?t good anyway. There are far better scotches out there, including one from honeyoye falls just down the road.

Draft. Pours a clear amber with a large head. Aromas of toffee, caramel and plastic cup. Taste is malty, slightly peaty with a sweet finish. Average.

My favorite from Rohrbach. Great aroma and great taste. Best Scotch Ale out there. Thankfully they’re local.

Draught at dinosaur bbq rochester. Brown golden clear w no head or lace. Thin soapy aroma of caramel malts. Tastes is classic scotch...sweet buttter malt with grain notes...no hops other than a spicy finish. Slick but gritty feel. Classic and easy for a big scotch ale.

A nice scotch ale. Taste has a sweetness that compliments the malt flavor. One of my favorite beers when I visit family in Rochester NY ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

On tap. Dark brown with a thin beige head. Sweet caramel and malt with an alcohol finish. Very solid beer, definately a fixture in my rotation.
