Oct 13, 2009 Courtesy of JCB, Thanks Jason! Burnt amber color with an ivory head. Aroma is actually dominated by apples, with a touch of sweet toffee and butterscotch. I was not expecting the fruit in this style. Initial taste of toffee, sweet malts and apple. Moving into burnt caramel. Finishing warm & malty. Very Nice beer, but again a bit surprised by the fruit.

Oct 13, 2009 Nice scotch ale. Aroma was very good. Thick chewy caramel malt which carries through to the taste. Hints of roastiness and brown sugar come out as it warms. Good carbonation rounds it out.

Oct 6, 2009 Bottle picked up in NC. Deep reddish-amber color with a small white head and some lacing. Aroma is sweet with caramel, toffee, dark fruit, and a little smoky peat. Flavor is caramel, toffee, brown sugar, nuts, and mild roast. Sweet for the style. Palate is medium-full and carbonation is medium-low. Pretty solid example of the style overall.

Oct 5, 2009 Beautiful deep red color with no head. Aroma is cherry coke and cough syrup. Taste is caramel, smoke, more cherry coke, and nuts. Alcohol is lightly detectable. Has a slightly tart finish. Full-bodied with low carbonation. A solid beer.

Oct 3, 2009 Bottle from Bob and Sherees.
Think head over amber body.
Caramel, mild fruit, etc.
Very nice beer.
Excellent seasonal from a great micro-brewery.

Sep 30, 2009 Pitcher pour at 2009 GABF. Pours a thin white head over a clear amber (SRM 10) body.....nose is sweet malts, toffee, caramel with mild dried fruits (bit of cherry, raisin)....taste is simple sweet malt to start with mild dried fruit flavors toward the end.....mouth fee is full, carbonation low. This is a nice attempt in " Wee Heavy" land, but is lacking in enough complexity in the malt back bone, which should dominate. Tasting of 9/26/09.

Sep 27, 2009 Pours from the bottle in a rich copper. A thin, off-white head floats on top, and leaves a little lacing on the glass. You can smell the heat and peat of scotch, with some apple and banana fruit. Lots of alcohol up front, but a toffee/caramel/coffee center and a tart peat finish. Palate is thick and slick. A nice sipper.
