Can to thistle.
Appearance: dark maroon close to brown in color with a four finger eggshell white foamy head which took it's time to dissipate and allow a good amount of lace.
Aroma: deep roasted nuts, sweet toast, molasses, plenty of caramel, and a very nice herbal to earthy hop tone underneath
Flavor: blends all the prior noted aromas fairly sweet adding in a balance of bitterness from the hops; super mild aftertaste of the nuts and herbal/earthy hops
Texture: medium to full bodied, somewhat a sipper; extremely smooth along my tongue; finishes very rich, nutty and sweet
Overall: a very nicely done Scotch Ale/Wee Heavy I would very much love to have again. Did I hear they barrel aged this? Now that's one I gotta find!
