Cask at the brewery as Wee Heavy 6.2%, on 2/16/24. Clear chestnut, small, light beige head, spotty cover. Gently fruity with some toffee-backed plum-raisin. Toast/roast, peppery hops and quite clean. Soft and malty, surprisingly mild, lightly watery with light roast, lots of caramel and raisin. Clean and dry. Lingering toast, brown bread. Maybe not ideal on cask as it interrupts the body, but interesting to try nonetheless.

Draft at Lukas Liquors. On the money with earthy, deep malty leaves and light malt soggy sweetness. Low bitterness and low hops. Smooth feel with cheek tickling carbonation. Delightful for the style.

4 oz pour on draft at ChurchKey. Dark brown with beige head. Aromas of dark fruit, red wine, light caramel. Tastes of dark fruit, caramel, biscuit. Medium body with a dry finish. Nicely executed scotch ale.

Dark brown pour without much head. Some light peat malt. Not a lot of character here other than a lightly interesting malt. Tap at brewpub. Tap at Churchkey.

Draft. Hazy to cloudy amber briwn color, tan head with good retention and solid lacing. Aroma of chocolate biscuit. Taste is bready burnt caramel, light spice. Tasty.

Pour is a very dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is earthy malt and a bit of toffee. Flavor is damn good. Lots of earthy chewy malt with some coffee and dry bakers chocolate. Finish is a more stout like with a decent char malt. This is my new fav beer from this brewer. Those English malts shine here making you think you were in a pub in the English countryside.
