Dark purple beer that pours with minimal carbonation - fairly sweet aroma, with mild peat, dark fruits, bubble gum, and root vegetables - low carbonation, slick mouthfeel - starts rather sweet, with strong notes of plum - strong peat character and earthy/vegetal qualities emerge after that - spicy hops dry things out a little bit, and lingering smoke lasts long through the finish - lacks the depth of character a good scotch ale should have, but it’s fairly tasty, and the lingering smoke gives it extra points in my book.

Jun 15, 2008 toasty, malty, refreshing and otherwise a fair brew. muted flavors are still complex. yes earthy quite earthy. i got a bit of peat and really little else to speak of. balanced with a nice refreshing palate and little alcohol to sense. touch sweet yet still watery and no hop character to speak of. toasty finish. actually it was somewhat perfumy.

May 23, 2008 Medium brown. Decent bit of dark fruit/plum inspired flavors. Finishes with some piney and floral hops. Rather satisfying.

Feb 9, 2008 On tap at Mahars. Poured flat brown. Aroma was toasty and sharp. Flavor was very roasted, a bit caramel sweet, and very hoppy finished, good stuff.
