WINNER! This one was great. I like Scotch ales and this one was a good one. Amber color, nice head and brussels lace. Malty and good feel inthe mouth. Nice beer. Sam Adams, you’ve done it again.

Oct 6, 2008 12 oz bottle from mix pack. Malt nose of caramel and dark grain with a touch of floral spicy hops. Clear amber brown with small tan head. Definite touch of peaty smoked malt flavor with some roast and touch of dark fruits. Medium body and mouthfeel. Finish is dry and slightly astringent with moderate hop bitterness. Tasty.

Oct 5, 2008 Pours mahogany into a thistle. Creamy pancake head leaves sheets as it slowly recedes. I don’t pick up any aromas. Smoky caramel from front to back. Crisp, dry, lasting smoke finish.

Oct 1, 2008 Attractive amber color w/ sizeable off-white head. As with most Sam Adams brews, this one is dominated by malt character in both aroma and taste. Medium bodied, slightly smoky, moderate bitterness. A lot like a Boston Lager, however the peat malt adds an element that makes this taste like Johnnie Walker. Quite good, one of the better Sam Adams in my estimation.

Sep 29, 2008 Pours a deep amber brown with a thick white head that dissapates quickly. Taste of smoky malts, but not as strong as other scotch ales that I’ve had.
12 oz. bottle from a 12 pack sampler

Sep 28, 2008 Clear, dark tan in colour; fabulous but subtle aroma; rather robust and strong in its taste, you get that smoky taste in there, malty, slightly bitter, somewhat burnt; slightly harsh in after-taste with that burnt malt taste.
