magdalar (291) - Zurich, SWITZERLAND - JAN 3, 2012

Draught at Brouwers. Pours a very dark brown with an offwhite head. Smells of brown sugar and spice. Tastes very sweet with almost no bitter. Finishes cloyingly.

CampesinoTino (453) - Lake Stevens, Washington, USA - SEP 11, 2011

Bomber. Dark brown with crimson highlights and thick tan head that quickly disappears. The aroma is a sweet mix of malt, caramel and vanilla. The flavor is roasted malt, toffee and black tea upfront followed by molasses and rum-soaked raisins at the end. The body is slightly creamy with moderate carbonation and finishes with more malt, burnt sugar and a woody alcohol aftertaste. Overall, a smooth and rich blend of malts, dark sugars and booze.

"Fat Bastard Scotch Ale". Dark ruby, nut brown color, small beige head. Caramel, berries (red currant, strawberry) in the nose. Medium-bodied. Sweetish, caramelly, fudge, some berries. Lingering sweetness in the aftertaste. Quite well in style: strong and toffeish.

hopscotch (7272) - Vero Beach, Florida, USA - JUL 19, 2011

Bottle... Pours a clear dark ruby with burnt-orange flashes and a small, creamy, off-white head. The malty, luxuriant bouquet is a mélange of caramel, tawny port, dark raisins and milk chocolate. Full-bodied with an oily mouthfeel and tickling carbonation. The flavor supplies caramel, toffee, a whisper of coffee and a splash of sweet dark sherry. Finishes roasty with a kiss of sweet mocha. Bottle courtesy of StFun! Josh always has my back when it comes to finding a Scotch ale I haven’t tried.

ludhaber (14) - Massachusetts, USA - MAR 19, 2011

Scotch ale with very smooth texture. Smoky finish is a little too harsh. Good maltiness without excessive weight. Hop flavor is mild, the beer is well balanced.
