Pours dark brown with amber edges, thin head. Aroma of toffee, dark fruit, mostly raisin and plum, pretty sweet overall. Taste is pretty sweet, wish there was some more roast, or bitterness of some kind. Too sweet, reminds me of a doppelbock but without the yeast character.

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.

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.

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.
