Can. Buttery toffee malt and hay aroma. Amber with small head. Sweet buttery toffee malt and moderately bitter herbal flavor. Body pretty light especially given the style.

Slighlty hazy deep amber pour with a small tan head that fades to a ring rather quickly. Nose is toffee and vanilla with notes of wood and smoke. Very sweet malty start with some red fruit and vanilla followed by some caramel. Mouth is rather thin with soft carbonatioin.

2015-06-02, draught at Big Rock Urban Brewery, Vancouver, 6-4-7-3-14=34
Dark amber color. Light malt and butter aroma. Malty flavor, moderately sweet, with pleasant smoke touch, maybe some butter; low bitterness, but some roasted nuts add a bit to it.
Nice.

Dark amber color , clean, with compact head. The aroma is simple. The caramel flavor is nice, moderately sweet, contributing to a round mouthfeel, with a light cheesy impression; correct, rather low, bitterness; hint of nuts and smoke in the final.
Clean, pleasant.

On tap at the Big Rock Brewery in Seoul. It poured a light amber color with a thin head. It’s a pretty average beer that stood out mostly for just not showing the 7% ABV.

341 ml bottle. Pours a red brown with little head. Aromas of brown sugar and raisins. Sweet and somewhat creamy for a Scotch ale. Flavors of malt and caramel. Nice balance. Very nice, though more of a Belgian style than typical Scotch.
