12 ounce can into snifter, canned on 7/28/2016. Pours fairly hazy/cloudy deep orange/copper color with a 1 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of caramel, brown sugar, brown bread, nuttiness, toasted biscuit, raisin, plum, fig, pear, apricot, and red apple; with light notes of roast, toffee, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast/toasted earthiness. A bit too fruity/yeasty aromas, but not overwhelming. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/bready malt and light-moderate earthy hop/fruity yeast notes; with solid strength. Taste of big caramel, brown sugar, brown bread, nuttiness, toasted biscuit, raisin, plum, fig, pear, apricot, and red apple; with light notes of roast, toffee, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast/toasted earthiness. Mild herbal, grassy, spicy hop bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of caramel, brown sugar, brown bread, nuttiness, toasted biscuit, raisin, plum, fig, pear, apricot, red apple, light roast/toffee, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/bready malt and light-moderate earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance; and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Slightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Light-medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/silky/bready, and lightly slick/sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Minimal warming alcohol for 8.2%. Overall this is a very nice scotch ale. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/bready malt and light-moderate earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mildly bitter/drying finish. Rich malts, modest fruity yeast, and light earthy hop balance against sweetness. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example. I am sure the age has improved it, even though I have never had it before.

Can sample at The Amazing Canival. Clear dark brown color. Aroma of toasted caramel. Taste is lightly bready very malty burnt caramel. OK.
