750 ml bottle. Pours orange/amber. Taste is bready, cookie, and then the whiskey aroma with peat and a bit of smoke. Slight apple sweetness. Whiskey stands out. Pretty complex and a nice shift for Schlalfy.

Bottle. Pours clear amber with a small, fizzy white head, medium retention with good lacing. Aroma is dates, pear and apple esters with cookie and caramel malt, earthy and spicy hops. Flavor is malt dominant with dark fruity esters, brown sugar, light hops and bitterness with a sweet finish. Full body and medium carbonation.

Golden in color, slight haze with a thin white head. Big scotch whiskey aroma. Good malt backing and nice hops. This was a great beer to start the New Year with .

Pours a dirty yellow-orange color with a huge, very creamy white head that is about 2-inches high with modest carbonation. Aroma has a STRONG scotch nose, very light smoky note late, lots of liquor alcohol presence very late. Flavor tastes like your drinking a frothy carbonated glass of scotch. The flavor is really one dimensional in my opinion as almost no other flavors come through than scotch. Body is modest with a ton of carbonation, light alcohol heat late. Let me preface this with I love scotch. It’s one of my favorite non-beer alcoholic drinks but this brew was more scotch than beer. The beer characteristics were completely lost to my nose and taste buds. Overall a very "meh" beer in my opinion.

(bottle - STLCOB end of year tasting) amber with off white head. A bit of scotch whisky aroma. Flavor is scotch whisky, grainy malt, with a bit of bitterness for balance.

750 ml bottle shared by beer4bill. The pour is a hazed golden orange copper with a smallish off white head. The aroma is soft peat earthy malt, caramel sweet, grainy and fresh. The taste is the peat, iodine salt, and just a generally big Scotch caramel malt character. The palate is medium to heavy bodied with soft carbonation and a sweet malt booze finish. Really nice showcase for the peat, well done. Thanks for sharing this one Bill.

Bottle. Labeled "Schlafly 21 Single Malt Scottish Style Ale". Golden amber pour with a short, foamy white head. Aroma is pretty much whiskey, peat and not much else. If you do not like whiskey, I’d imagine the aroma would be off-putting. However, I enjoy it so this was pleasant for me, Light hop notes as well and soft wood in the aroma. Taste is also big whiskey notes, peat, light iodine, toasted malt, soft wood, light hops, and soft booze. Body is medium with a strong, bubbly carbonation, moderate warmth and mild stickiness. Ends with more whiskey notes, sweet malt, candied fruit, light hops, softer peat, toasted malt, and faint burnt wood.

From a bottle shared at home. Pours a cloudy gold with a white head. Scotch whiskey aroma. Caramel, vanilla,m single malt and notes of banana. A wonderfully complex brew.

Bottle. Clear amber color, medium cream colored head. Aroma of Lagavulin, one of my favorites. Taste is chewy and peaty. Very nice.

750ml bottle served in a tulip. Poured a hazy reddish gold with a finger of fine bubble off white head. The scotch jumps right out at you in the aroma. Peaty smoke, also some caramel malt. The peat is also the first thing you get in the flavor. It hits you right off the bat. Then there is some malt sweetness in the middle. Long lingering peaty finish. Medium to full bodied. Alcohol isn’t evident. Pretty easy drinking if you like Scotch. Appears to be bottle conditioned. If peaty Scotch whiskey is your thing, you will like this beer. Pretty one dimensional, but it worked for me.
