bottle thanks to Danny, pours light brown with a thin tan head. Aroma is caramel malt and peppery hops. Flavor is big red soda, lots of peppery hops and toffee. Not that bad.

Location: Draft at RnH, 2/19/11
Aroma: This one has a fairly subtle nose, light caramel and slightly fruity
Appearance: The pour is a dark red brown color with a small beige head
Flavor: The flavor is medium (plus) sweet with caramel, chocolate, and dark fruity notes
Palate: The mouthfeel was decent, medium bodied, but a touch thin with average carbonation
Overall Impression: This one is a fairly sweet, but not bad scotch ale. I found it to be a touch too sweet but solid with the flavor being a little better than the nose.

Pours deep mahogany into a Thistle. Creamy tan head with excellent retention leaves spotted sheets as it slowly recedes to coat surface. Smoky chocolate aromas. Upfront creamy chocolate and soy turning smoky and licorice in middle and on to a lightly bitter lasting finish.

Tap at the Hop Devil Grill. Poured into a pint glass. Color is black but slightly translucent. Smells like a porter, chocolate with some hops. Taste is very chocolate-y. Medium-low body. No bitterness. I really enjoyed it.

Tap at Spuyten Duyvil - great, purple/blood red color, with decent head retention - the aroma isn’t as powerful as many scotch ales, but the smoked malt, chocolate and dark fruit goodness are apparent - much drier than expected for the style, making the sweetness subtle, not overpowering like a lot of other beers in the category - smooth and drinkable, with a nice toffee and caramel presence.
