Aged two winters, our beloved Imperial Scotch Ale ascends from Eagle Rare, Elijah Craig, and WhistlePig Rye barrels ready to satiate thirst or rebel against the crown. Notes of toffee, maple, and dried fruit accented with subtle beechwood smokiness smoulder within an oak structure as sturdy as a stone hearth.

12 ounce can from Tavour. This is another Top 50 rated beer, coming in as the number 4 rated Scotch Ale on the planet! Canned on 4/04/23 annd comes in ant 14.9% ABV. Nearly opaque dark brown pour has a brief beige head. Wow! You can smell the oak and the whiskey right out of the gate. Sweet toasted malt nose hints at toffee. Flavor is sweet and toasty. Lots of booziness upfront. Then comes the toffee, dried fruit and sweet maple nuances. The oak and whiskey shows on the backend. Somewhat cloying, yet remarkably smooth. Definitely a world class example of the style. Nice job, Revolution!

12oz can from Tavour. Dark brown pour, still. Aroma is sweet and malty, raisins, bourbon. Taste is sweet, light peated malts, prunes, tobacco, molasses, whiskey and can initial blast of warmth. Smooth, sweet, slick, with a touch of dryness at the finish.

Burk från Rev, 2023. Mörk kastanjebrun med rubinröda toner, ljusbeige krona som snabbt lägger sig. Kolaremmar, rostat socker, toffee, hårda smörkolor, massor av fat, Bourbon, likörpralin, gränsar mot marsipan, fin alkoholvärme. Makalöst bra.
