On tap. Pours with a clear copper hued body with a lasting tan head. Aromas are slightly smokey with peat, light rochefort cheese, mild esters, caramel and dark fruits. Flavors show a nice balance between rich melanoidin caramelization, peat smoked malt (in moderation), and light fruit esters (plums and figs). Heavy carbonation for the style with a medium body. Alcohol is well hidden. Pretty tasty.

Tap at Stone World Bistro. Pours copper/amber with off white head. Aroma and taste, smoked malts, plenty of dark fruits, caramel malts, toffee?, with a distinct smoke profile. Nice tasty stuff, not used to tasting smoke in a scotch ale.
