A slightly fizzy light tan head on a chocolate caramel body. The nose features a slight peatiness, caramel and dark fruit. The peat steps it up a notch in the taste profile, with caramel malt, and touches of butter, hops, berries. The caramel and peat last to the end, but other elements fall away. Pretty sweet, which is typical of the style.

Big smoky aroma with a strong caramel sweetness. The peat over powers and dominates the beer. A strong whisky atoma and flavour with a very earthy woody finish. Not really a scotch ale to typical style. Interesting and pleasant, but not something i would go looking for, might fit better into the smoked category.

This scotch ale poured a deep dark amber colour with a creamy brown head. Medium lacing. Scents include caramel, toast, dough and a little smoke. First swig was smooth and quite creamy with flavours of caramel and toast. Finish is malty with a little back tongue bitterness lingering.

Bottle: Poured a medium copper color ale with a nice medium size foamy head with good retention and some light lacing. Aroma of peat malt with some toffee notes is really great. Taste is a well balanced mix between some peat malt with quite a bit of smoked notes with a well-balanced malt backbone which includes toffee and caramelized notes with just the right amount of residual sugar. Body is little bit thin with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Nice level of complexity while retaining some great drinkability.

Growler from GF, enjoyed at Mont-Blanc, QC after a full day of skiing (February 2014). Pours a clean copper with a big beige, good retention and a little lacing. Roasted darker malts with decent fruit notes and mild yeast. Very light chocolate malt with a bit of hop in the finish. Light roastiness of grain in the aftertaste. A nice easy-drinking, refreshing Scotch Ale.

A reddish copper ale with a thick mocha head. In aroma, lightly peaty caramel with light butterscotch notes, and a bit of gin alcohol. In mouth, a light scotch ale with sweet smooth peaty caramel malt over grassy hops, OK.
