We have taken a traditional Scottish-style Ale, with its rich malt characteristic reminiscent of dark fruits, and deepened it's flavor with the addition of cherry wood smoked malt. This beer features a full body alongside drinkability - a rare commodity. We enjoy this beer throughout the long, snowy winters of Central Wisconsin. You should, too!

Bottle. Dark brown pour. Aroma of caramelised malt, caramel fudge, raisin, vanilla and figs, really nice. Taste has sticky caramel fudge, caramelised malt, dates, figs, raisin, vanilla and some bitter hopping for balance. How is there so much flavor in such a seemingly simple beer.

Dark brown colour with quick fading head. Aroma and flavour have lots of sweet malts and sweet dried fruits. Very light roasted bitterness.

Appearances soul soul with an opaque black brown color small short-lived head no less. Aroma is mild, malty and traditional Scotch ale. Flavor is like nose. Body is okay but carbonation is a little fizzy. Finish is decent.

Rattle n Hum, NYC tap: pours murky brown with a beige head. Aroma is roasty, some caramel, little earth, and light druit. Taste is somewhat sweet with some minor hoppage. Not too sweet. Chewy. Abv was 7.5 according to the bar. Seemed more realistic than 5.2.

Tap at Rattle and Hum, New York. Colour is deep dark brown with small white head. Aromas and flavours: Ripe fruits, some chocolate, some dryness and malts. Very nice. Can’t believe this is 5.2% because malty body is very good.
