A big bastard of an award winning brew. Exceptionally smooth with rich maltiness and a touch of smoky peat character.

Draft pour at Frankies pizza. Pours a really dark brown color with a creamy head. Sweet candy caramel aroma. Flavor has a touch of smokiness up front. Very sweet flavor though. Very nice addition to the style. Enjoyed this.

Tap at Dig. Orange-brown color with lace. Faint malty nose, a bit smoky, caramel, dried fruits, raisins. Full body, smooth but a bit weird.

Thanx Steve.
This was poured into a thistle.
The appearance was a ruddy brown color with smooth level one finger white foamy head that dissipated within a minute. There was some light stringy lacing sliding into the beer.
The smell had some light peat flavors with a light smokiness running in and out of the aroma.
The taste was semi-sweet through some caramel malts, gets the peat to come back combined with the smokiness to blend fairly decently. There was a long smoky sweet aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat right at a medium on the body with a decent sessionability about it. The carbonation had a smooth capability about it letting the smokiness control how it rolled over my tongue.
Overall, I say this was a good Scotch ale that I would have again.

Draught at Seattle Tap Room (Sea-Tac Airport)
Brown color, dark and clean, with small creamy head. Nutty beer, full bodied: good caramel component, with moderate sweetness; the aroma is too simple, the flavor quite nice; light fruity esters complete the picture in a pleasant way; correct bitterness. Could be mistaken for a Doppelbock as it’s very clean.

924 yen, on tap for a half-pint at Bakujun. Dark red almost onyx pour with a thin filmy beige head. Fruity plum, rich sweet malt aroma. Smooth slick but med-light body. Sweet malty beer, berries, caramel, toffee flavor. Very drinkable. My overall impression is this is an incredibly smooth scotch ale, well put together with no hint of the ABV it is packing...

Sample at the Tap House Grill in Seattle. The beer is a clear ruby-brown color with a medium thick beige head that diminishes slowly. Patchy lacing on the glass. The aroma consists of earthy malt, fruit and caramel. Full-bodied with flavors of smoked malt, ripe fruit and figs. The finish is peaty with a burnt malt and dark fruit aftertaste. Decent all around.

"Fat Bastard Scotch Ale". Dark ruby, nut brown color, small beige head. Caramel, berries (red currant, strawberry) in the nose. Medium-bodied. Sweetish, caramelly, fudge, some berries. Lingering sweetness in the aftertaste. Quite well in style: strong and toffeish.

Bomber from Suzy Greenberg. Thanks Ben. Pours dark ruby with a fine foamy tan head. Smells like malt. Medium body with fine carbonation. Flavor is smooth malt with some smoke and vanilla. There’s enough bitter to help sooth the malt. Drinks very well.
