In the bottle at the 2009 Crescent Moon Extreme Beer fest. Pours a ruddy dark brown with a medium off white head. This is a delicious beer. Has a very malty palate and the peaty flavors are dominant throughout.

Pint bottle courtesy of OHLRangers. Pours a hazy dark cola color with reddish highlights and a two finger creamy tan head that settles slowly. Aroma is sweet and malty with notes of caramel, toffee, raisins, ripe dark fruit and hints of honey, smoke and wood. Flavor is sweet and roasted with notes of caramel, honey, toffee, ripe dark fruit, hints of raisins and molasses. Generally medium body with a pleasing sweet and malty finish.

Darkish brown with a moderate white head, that leaves some lacing. Nice smoke and tabacco odour. A tad weak mouthfeel, decent taste, malt and peat and tabacco smoke taste. above average carbonation. A decent scotch beer from this decent brewer.

16oz bottle. Dark, murky but still a little transparent, brown. Smooth, simple and malty. Not unlike a lot of authentic Scottish Ales. Delicate hop balance, but overall it’s sweet and quite drinkable. Impressive medium bodied mouthfeel for a beer of it’s strength. Quite nice, I’d like to try it on draft.

Aroma of burnt toast and maple syrup. Appearance is dark amber with a thin white foam on top. Flavor is toffee, raisins, and charred wood. Very drinkable! ABV is subtle but present. I like it! It reminds me of Cally’s Smokin’ Scottish which I used to enjoy in Harrisonburg, VA.

Bottle. Smoky malt aroma. Cloudy copper body, thin head. Flavor is very smoky and somewhat sweet, definite notes of brown sugar and caramel. Interesting and pleasing.

Tallahassee, Fl. - Liquor Loft - 16 oz bottle. Pours a murky dark copper-light brown with a very light off-white head. Aroma is of smoked peat and sausage. Sweet and smoky flavor with hints of caramel, smoked meat, peat and does not quite edge to the verge of cloying which I was afraid was going to happen when I poured it. Full bodied and belly warming. Mouthfeel is thick enough for the style. Decent selection from Sprecher - which is turning out to be a solid regional brewer making their way across the country.
