3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
12oz bottle.
Pours a dark cherry/ruby-red with fizzy foam that quickly vanishes. Lovely aroma of dried dark fruits and slightly molasses-y malt. Flavor is dry and biscuity of light toasted grains at first. Malt starts to sweeten, then leafy hops add a clean, modest bitter touch. Notes of dark fruits are considerably less pronounced in the flavor as compared to the aroma; in fact the flavors on the whole were a bit muted. Thinnish, watery palate with bready, slightly dry aftertaste. Disappointed that the flavor didn’t quite deliver on the aroma’s promise.

12oz bottle served in a stem glass. Pours dark ruby topped by a thin but lasting off-white head. Smells sweet and syrupy with a touch of earthy hops. Flavor is toffee, earth, and brown sugar. Very sweet, full bodied, low-medium carbonation. Finishes just as sweet as it starts, slightly cloying. Not really a fan of the style but I guess it is alright.

Rating #4300... Bottle... SMAACMSM O-Town Throwdown, Part Sept... Clear copper ale with a large, frothy, white head. Incredible retention. Metallic, meaty, vinous aroma with a note of toffee. Medium to full-bodied and oily with lively carbonation. A touch metallic, meaty and sweet. Lingering, lightly bitter, mostly sweet finish. Big THANKS to johnykat for shipping these bottles down from PA!
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Courtesy hopscotch. Pours a clear, amber maroon, with a small off white head. The smell is of big sweet malts, and alot of dark fruit. Apples and plums mostly, as I seemingly get in most scotch ales I try. The flavor is much the same, with the fruits being the most prominent, and gives it a nice crisp bitterness in the finish. It was a touch maybe overcarbonated wihich was a flaw, but overall not bad.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
A- Pours a deep reddish brown with a small fizzy head that dissipates rather quickly.
S- Smells sweet, yeasty, with hints of lighter fruitiness.
T- Taste is much darker than expected, almost dubbelesque with strong tones of dark fruit throughout the middle, a hop bitterness at the end but with a bit of a weak beginning.
M- Thick and a bit too carbonated for my taste.
D- In my opinion this is a good brew that misses the mark a little. I like it but I couldn’t session it and it just seems like it doesn’t come together cohesively enough.
