Sampled off the picnic table at Dark Lord Day - I had to travel all the way to Indiana to try this beer that is brewer not 50 miles from my house - anyway, I was a little disappointed in this effort - the body and flavor were a bit thin for the style - and that weird bubble gum taste that sometimes plagues scotch ales was very present in this one - some warming hints of plum and scotch swirled in the mix, but never really found harmony - just okay.
