On tap at Beer Republic during SF Beer Week, what a week! Pours murky dark brown with thin tan head. The aroma offers up sweet dark fruity esters like prunes, figs and dates as well as some roasted malts and chocolate malts. The taste begins with a sweet dark fruity ester onslaught coming from all direction via prunes, raisins and figs and then picking up a modest amount of dark roasted malts, chocolate malts and a mild yet pleasing earthiness. It lingers with some chocolate and roasted malts into the finish. Pretty right on for the style.

16oz glass at Deep Ellum. Pours a translucent, mahogany brown with a creamy off white head. Aroma has pale malts, some light chocolate powder, light brown sugar, sweet. Flavor is real weak, watered down chocolate, light toasted malts, loads of crystal malt flavor. Finish is weak and water. A scotch ale? No way. This is a bad scotch ale. This wouldn’t even be a good brown ale.
