AOF (281), Naperville, Illinois, USA May 21, 2007 4 oz sample, World Expo of Beer. Frankenmuth, MI. May 19th 2007. 18th brew of the festival. Entered as their Strong Ale. Tmoney99 (3740), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Apr 10, 2007 Draft sample at brewpub. Poured dark brown color with an moderate rocky off-white head that was mostly lasting with fair lacing. Good toasted malty aroma. Medium body with sticky texture. Medium sweet flavor with a spicy sweet finish of average duration. Enjoyable brew. blankboy (2687), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jul 28, 2006 <i>Draught at 2006 MBG Summer Festival.</i> Pours a very bubbly dark ruby-brown with an average size diminishing creamy tan head. Malty aroma with some mild smoke, dark fruit and alcohol. Sweet malty flavour with some faint smoke and dark fruit with alcohol and hops in the finish. Medium to full bodied. Well done, this is pretty good Scotch Ale. GregClow (2369), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jul 27, 2006 Draught sample at MBG 2006 Summer Festival. Dark brown with a small tan head - looks like a porter. Sweet, smoky, malty nose with a chocolate finish - nice! Flavour is mildly boozy, sweet and woody, with a subtle smokiness. Yeah, I can dig this... HogTownHarry (3361), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada Jul 25, 2006 Updated: Jul 27, 2006<b>Draught</b>. <i>At 2006 Michigan Brewers’ Guild Festival</i>. Opaque ruby-brown with a nice large creamy tan head. Boozy aroma, rich sweet toasty malt, nutty. Taste really appealed to me (sue me, I love scotch ales), nice and boozy, really thick sweet caramelized roast malt, sweet fresh grain and dry hops. Thick bodied, boozy and nicely carbonated mouthfeel, medium-long linger - really good, boozy, but not too boozy.
