Dec 15, 2008 16 oz bottle. Pours a nice brown color with a bit of an amber hue. There is a small white head that lacks a ton of retention and the lacing could be a bit better. Aroma is sweet with notes of malt and maybe a touch of smoke...? It actually smells like a couple other Sprechers I have had recently. Flavor is nice. There are some sweet caramel flavors with a hint of smoke at the end. It is very smooth and malty. This is nicely approachable Scotch ale thats easy to drink.

Dec 12, 2008 Far superior to the bourbonized style. Fairly not brown but nearly clear. Just as the description says. Light smoke, earth, lightly roasted malt, maybe a little peat. Medium palate, fairly dry overall.

Aug 11, 2008 darker pour with a sizeable, but quikly fading head. Charred peaty breezes fill the nose as well as smokey wooded notes, and quieted toasted chocolate touches. A rounded taste with an herby, earthy vibe and a quieter drying and proglonged finish. Drinkable and has a decent amount of flavors to keep on sipping. Enjoyable.
