12 oz bottle from Princeton’s. Caramel color with a thin wispy white head that quickly fades. Aroma is slightly malty and nutty. Flavor is sweet, caramel and malty. Finish malty and tangy.

Thank You MOTORTODDHEAD, man this beer is a homerrun. Nice taste of nuttyness, and sweet toffee notes. Caramel and malt backbone. This is very smooth and carbination is low. Silky mouthfeel. Nice amber color. This is a freaking awsome beer. Must have more. Thanks Todd

Clear, medium amber with thin white head. Aroma of butter brickle, malt and a bit of sour coffee and melon or maybe zucchini. A nice, rather light blend of sour, sweet and bitter. A bit watery with a dry finish. One of the more easy drinking scotch ales I have tried.

12oz bottle 12/10/09 (Binny’s Willowbrook)-Pours dark amber light brown with a small tan head. Aroma of malt, caramel, toffee, vanilla, slight nut, and slight hops. Taste of malt, sweetness, caramel, toffee, brown sugar, and slight chocolate. This medium bodied brew is well balanced and easy to dring at 7.7% ABV. Another good brew from these guys.

Amber with good, creamy off-white head / Nose of spun sugar, malt, and toast / Medium body, very sweet and syrupy, with some hop dryness on the good finish / Flavors of spun sugar, toast, violets, almonds, and honey / A little overly sweet, thick, and cloying.

12 oz bottle from the Binnys singles rack (Orland Park, IL). Glad to grab this. Pours a lightly hazed copper pour, lighter twlight edges, a moderate offwhite tannish head that sticks decent, stays a decent size surprisingly, laces ok. Aromas are suitable, caramel and toffee malts dominant, biscuit and light peat, vanilla, a nutty edge, and some ice cream waffle cone smell. Initial is medium bodied, packing on some good sweetness, caramel, toffee, vanilla, biscuits, some peat, a faint spice, a touch of waffle cone, nuts, a touch of brown sugar, a bit of candied dark fruit faintly in the backend. Light bitterness, faint even. Malt forward for sure, packing good sweeter flavors, smooth and quite drinkable. Some toastiness, but largely sweet forward, but still nice, smooth, not dominant cloying. Quite nice, really a surprising ABV.

Thanks, bro! Pours a slightly cloudy mahogany color with a medium off-white soapy head which fades quickly to a simple ring. Aroma is toasted caramel malts and light cocoa. Taste is much the same. All the caramel and toastiness of the malts is there, without being overly sweet and thick which are the reasons I generally dislike this style.

ON tap last night at the Malt House: Poures a bright cloudy amber colour with a medium sized beige head. Aroma is sweet in itself. Taste is semi smokey but very rich and pretty damn sweet. Toffee all the way through. It’s a very filling and super rich beer which I want to enjoy more but I can’t get beyond the sweetness. Taste buds extra sensitive last night perhaps?"

Clear light brown color with a thin, tan head. Light sweet malt aroma with a peaty herbal touch. Roasted malt flavor with chocolate and heather notes. Medium bodied with a nice smoky finish make this a very nice beer.

Pours a ruddy brown color with medium white head. Aroma is of caramel, light peat malt and floral hop aromas. Taste is chocolate, rich caramel, mild peat, and light floral hops. Light alcohol finish but nothing overwhelming or unfitting for the style. Lightly carbonated and well balanced. Another solid brew from Rob.
