Tap @ brewery. Dark orangish brown appearance with a light brown head. Camp fire smoky, quite peppery, caramel, light toffee aroma. Sort of weird salt and pepper flavor like Salt and Pepper Kettle chips. Beef jerky/bacon, peppery, caramel flavor. Kind of a strange concoction but it has a really nice mesquite note to it.

Dark brown with a reddish tint - nose is rich and malty (toffee), with very mild touches of hickory smoke - hard to detect the bacon over the rich, creamy maltiness - flavors of toffee, caramel, light earthy bitterness, followed by mild woodsmoke and some alcohol warmth - a touch of saltiness from the bacon - my only complaint is that you can taste some of the vodka used to extract the flavor from the bacon - besides the quasi-gimmick, it’s a really solid scottish ale.
