This is one of my favorite Scotch Ales. Thankfully, the brewery is nearby.
Pours a mahogany color with a thin but nice head and some lacing.
Aroma is very malty with a strong peat presence.
Flavor is malt, peat, smoke, and some darker fruits. Well balanced.
Palate is full with a nice mineral mouthfeel. Overall this is an exceptional beer and well worth seeking out.

Nov 29, 2008 Draft at Uber Seattle (listed as ’Silver City Scotch Ale’.. I think this must have been the beer). Typical ’scotch ale’ look with deep off-brown color and rich head. Bright and robust flavor, I couldn’t get beyond how much peat flavor was in there .. more ’scotch’ in there than others of the style .. very interesting.

Jul 29, 2008 Big bottle from By The Bottle in Vancouver--Poured a brown-amber-chestnut body with a quickly dissipating fluffy beige head. Nutty, earthy, smoky, and sweet malty nose. Mild molasses and chocolate flavors mask a emboldened alcohol presence. Very good beer!

Jul 15, 2008 Brown pour with tan head and lace. A bit of sour and brown sugar on the nose. Large brown sugar and malt on the flavor. A bit thin and watery. Drinkable but not hugely special.

Jul 11, 2008 Ahh this brew will always be fat bastard to me. Good to get this out in Ohio via trade. This was the 1st scotch I ever had and I didn’t even know it at the time back in Silverdale OH in my old Navy days. Aroma is sweet malt and maple syrup and some alcohol. Nice velvety smooth mouthfeel. Flavor is malty sweet with a smoky scotch finish that gives just a little bit of alcohol but not too much. Love the fatty bastard.

Jun 16, 2008 Pours with no head. Brown in color. Good full flavor of dark malts and a hint of chocolate. Finish has hints alcohol ethers. It’s just what I was looking for today.
