The appearance was a murky dark orange close to brown color with a cap of a little white foamy head that fell off at a moderate pace. Not much lace.
The aroma had some sweet malty tones of caramel/toffee, light nuts, some herbal to grassy hop character and ended with a little bit of earthiness.
The flavor was malty dry sweet with the herbal and earthy components trying to blend but mostly stayed somewhat separated. Lingering aftertaste of the maltiness. Long malty finish.
The palate was between light and medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt low but expected. ABV felt secure and expected.
Overall, pretty decent beer to me as it seemed clean, but also didn’t have the peat or smoke I normally associate with the style, so that kinda takes a little bit of a hit.

On tap in Reading Terminal Market, pours a murky brown with some thin white head. Nose is odd, spice, candy sugar, some root vegetables, maybe even a little cooked squash. Flavor follows, cloves, all spice, candy, toffee. Boozy finish. Reminded me of a bad dubbel. Makes for an even worse scotch.

Bottle courtesy of Adam of Juba, thank you sir! Clear dark brown color, beige head. Aroma of spiced toasted brownies. Taste is herbal sweetish brownies. A bit messy.

Bottle at home in Salisbury - aged a few years. Pours cloudy brown with a tan foam head. Simple malt character with light tangy fruit notes, toasty bread and faint earthy bitterness. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish with some and dry toast, along with caramel and basic bread. OK. Worked well in my chili recipe.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a dark brown liquid with a small beige head that dissipates quickly. Aroma of roasted malt with an intense dark fruit character. Flavor is more roasted malt with notes of prunes and molasses. Very lightly carbonated. Full-bodied and complex . Very slight smokiness in finish.

12 oz. bottle at Rye & Thyme - Leominster, MA. Brownish black color with creamy 1 finger nail size, diminishing off white head, no lacing. Nose is malty and light peat. Chewy caramel sweetness with lots of peat, some traces of smoke, bright fruitiness and a slight alcohol burn. Just the right amount of peat. Overall I really enjoyed drinking this and I would drink it again if offered.

On tap at the bocktown. Darker brownish looking beer. Has a somewhat volatile aroma of whiskey soaked fruit. First taste makes me think of a barley wine. Peat and cloying sweet. Almost induces a gagging effect. Each swig is the same impression, never morphs. Difficult at times. Not impressed. Typical scotch ale, rude and strong. Not my fave. Thought it was going to be a scottish alle, was fooled.

Definitely worth the price of the draft. Dark copper color with a white head that lasted a little while longer than expected. Aroma and flavor of caramel, bread, butter, and molasses.
