This was a little too sweet for me, but a solid beer nonetheless. Lots of flavor going on with the toffee and cherry. I noticed the fruit, but wasn't sure what it was until I read the bottle. Also tasted some dark sugar as well, but could of been the toffee. Has a medium to dark brown- redish appearance....or burgundy is more like it. I think I prefer my Scotch Ales a bit on the mellower side, but wanted to try something new from a local brewer. Don't think I'd get again though, especially at this price.

Backlog. Pours very dark brown with a beige head. Slightly roasted malt with sweet chocolate, candied sugar, wood. Clean and full bodied. Very nice.

Spory i niespodziewany (czytaj: byłem nieprzygotowany) gushing przy otwieraniu. Piana średnio obfita, szybko opada do zera, barwa brązowa, dość klarowna. W zapachu bardzo przyjemnie i intensywnie - na równi karmel, toffi, porto, sherry, miód spadziowy, melasa i odrobina sosu sojowego. Klasa! W smaku podobnie, dość słodkie, wyklejające, jest umami, delikatna słoność kojarząca się z popcornem w karmelu, toffi, irysy, czekolada, daktyle... Goryczka nieduża, ale obecna, lekko palona, tytoniowa. Niskie wysycenie, pełne, oleiste i gładkie w odbiorze, lekko rozgrzewający alkohol w typie wzmacnianego, słodkiego wina, rumu.
Pozytywne zaskoczenie pod kontem aromatu i konsystencji. Bardziej w typie Backwoods Bastard niż Old Chub. Gdyby nie ten gushing...

Pitch black color with small white head. Alcohol, caramelized sugar, wood and fig aroma. Sweet chocolate, alcohol, alcohol candy, wooden barrel taste. Medium to full body, soft carbonation. Awesome.

Bottle at home. Taste is sweet, malty and roasted. Dried fruits and wood. Very nice mouthfeel. One of the better clean scotch ale!

Dosyć mocno naładowane słodami - karmel, czekolada, typowe Scotach Ale. Niby wszystko na miejscu, zgodnie ze stylem, ale bez fajerwerków. W tle lekkie nuty dymione.

650ml bottle from Beergium. Dark brown, cola coloured beer with very small and quickly vanishing head. Aroma has strong flavors of dark malts, bread, raisins and ripe fruits; plum mostly. Taste has malts, caramel, raisins, some ripe fruits and warming alchocol & sugar at the end. Moderate sweetness, medium carbonation and body. Reminds me a bit of stronger Belgium ales. Quite good.

Solid, very well made beer. Was expecting a bit more from Cigar, but still - it’s good enough.

Fruity butterscotch aroma. Taste is sweet and malty, very smooth with a bit of alcohol coming out just before the finish. Caramel finish
