3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20Rich brownish-reddish body with an off-white head and OK lacing. Aroma was of sweet chocolate and malt; quite inviting, actually. The flavor is an extension of the aroma, yet the presence of bittering hops and smoke are readily apparent. Acidic, smokey aftertaste, and I have to say that is what disappointed me the most. So, up until the finish, this was an impressive beer to me. The mouthfeel was very good, though, as the carbonation level was at the proper level, and there was an overall smoothness. I have one bottle of this beer left, and I think I’ll sip it in front of the fireplace this weekend. Yeah, that sounds appropriate.

Bouteille 12oz. De couleur brune et légèrement voilée. Nez malté de caramel toffee légèrement rôti et aux notes fumées (tourbe), léger de houblon floral et terreux avec des notes de noix. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-faible ainsi qu’une texture légèrement crémeuse. Goût malté de caramel toffee avec de très faibles notes boisées (bois brûlé) lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi d’un goût d’un goût malté plus rôti et légèrement fumé (tourbe) avec des traces de sucre brun puis en finale l’on retrouve une légère amertume de houblon floral et légèrement terreux avec des notes sèches de noix. Post-goût moyen et aux notes sèches, légèrement amer de rôti et de houblon floral aux notes terreuses avec des petites notes de noix et de fumée. (2006)

From bottle. Pours a copper / red color. Aroma was earthy with hops and caramel malts. Taste had great balance with a better then expected smoky malt taste and great hop backing.

4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Sam Adams delivers once again with this tasty scotch ale. It pours a golden brown with a thick head of foam that sticks around well beyond the first sip. It has a bold taste with an almost nutty taste to it. A good tasty beer with a pizza, but not exactly a summer cookout beer in my opinion.

Clear deep amber - brown beer. Small white head. Light palate. Nice even malt, slightly sweet. Subtle dried fruits underneath. Semi dry finish. Scotch ales, I’ve decided, are not my thing but there is nothing wrong with this.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
An okay Scotch ale. Has a bit of the peat character is advertises, but its not particularly prominent. Has a nice hoppy character, more earthy and grassy than malty.

Hands down best beer I’ve ever had, though many would disagree, its my taste buds, Iam the rater.
