Seven varieties of malt combine to create complex flavors of candied figs, raisin and toffee with a hint of smoke. So intensely flavorful, it’ll inflate your bagpipes with every swig.

Pours brown from the can with a finger thick, frothy head. A sticky lacing clings to the glass. Aroma is earthy, caramel, chocolate, old wet wood. Taste is toffee sweet, malt-driven, with a very mild bitterness at the finish. Body is thick, sticky, full. Overall pretty good.

Can from J’s. Pours a deep brown with a small finger of foam that dissipates quickly. Earthy toffee and twigs, roasted cacao. Dry on the palate with some toasted caramel. Abv hidden. Dangerously drinkable.

Dark brown color, off white head with good retention. Aroma has notes of burnt caramel and toasted malts. Flavor is slightly bittery, notes of dry fruits and also dominated by caramelish notes. Toasty final with some burnt notes.

So freakin’ dark for a Scotch ale, a heavy red-orange threatening to deepen into porter-ish brown. Tastes almost cola-sweet, starting with a blast of caramel floating over a whisky-tinged peat undercurrent. Essentially an endless malt pit, only gaining the mildest of bitterness to stave off cloying ugliness on the fade. Almost too one-sided, even for such a malt-centric style.

Boks 355ml fra Vinmonopolet Oslo - Aker Brygge. Drukket hjemme 29 Okt 16. Ultramørk amber. Høyt kremaktig skum med litt farge. Pen lacing. Forsiktig baconaroma. Smaken har samme lette baconpreget. Syrlig bitter etter hvert. Avslutter tørt.
