At the brewery: Pours brown with an off-white head. Aroma is dark fruits and hints of caramel, vanilla, and bourbon. Taste is slightly sweet with really subtle barrel aging hints coming through. This was a smooth and mellow Scotch ale (far from authentic to style...), which was easy to drink and kind of restrained.
