Bottle. A- Leather, caramel, biscuits, mild dark fruit. A- Brown color, dark liquid, tan head. T- Dark fruits, caramel, mild chestnuts, brown sugar, slightly malty. P- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- A pronounced dark fruited note throughout with hits of roasted nuts and some caramel. Good but it just seems like this could have been a bit more robust and complex. Almost like they played it with some caution.

12 ounce bottle into snifter, bottled on 11/20/2015. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy dark reddish brown color with a 1 finger dense khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of caramel, brown sugar, brown bread, toasted biscuit, nuttiness, cocoa, raisin, plum, apple, light peat smoke/tobacco, herbal, and yeast/toasted earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malt and light fruity yeast/earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of big caramel, brown sugar, brown bread, toasted biscuit, nuttiness, cocoa, raisin, plum, apple, light peat smoke/tobacco, herbal, and yeast/toasted earthiness. Light herbal/roast bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, brown sugar, brown bread, toasted biscuit, nuttiness, cocoa, light peat smoke/tobacco, herbal, and yeast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt and light fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light dryness from hop/roasted notes as well. Light-medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready, and slightly sticky/chalky balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a very nice Scotch ale style. All around good complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt and light fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; and very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV. A very enjoyable offering.

Tap at Ginger Man, Nyc. Dark nut brown color, small beige head. Caramel and dark fruits in the nose. Medium-bodied. A bit liquerish palate. Toffee, dark fruits, some berries. Certainly quite typical Scotch Ale, but simple one. Aftertaste is mostly alcohol with some caramel.

RThis scotch ale poured a deep amber colour with a light tan head. Scents include wine, fruit juice, glue and alcohol. First sip was smooth with flavours of malt, vermouth and hop. Finish is hoppy and lightly bitter.
