Throw on that flannel, breathe in the crisp air, and get ready to go Apple Cider Donut picking because this year’s crop is finally ready for harvest! This rich and malty scotch ale was brewed with the perfect ratio of one, freshly baked apple cider donut from Bishop’s Orchards in every pint. Warm cinnamon notes, cakey doughnut flavor, decadent vanilla, and just a hint of snappy cidery-goodness make this the perfect autumn sipper. Drink it! It's liquid donut magic and we made it with love, just for you, fresh from Little House, Great Falls, and Bishop’s.

Can from Tavour. Pours like a Guinness. Dark brown with a huge tan head that went foamy and lacy. Aroma of malt like a Scotch ale with donuts having a little cinnamon. Med body. Flavor is like the aroma, but the Scotch ale thing is stronger as is the cinnamon. Interesting but not very beer like. Not dry and not bitter.

Poured a dark cola color with a small ecru head. Scotch Ale forward, cinnamon. Mild vanilla. I guess Apple cider donuts are in here, but it's very subtle. Just fine, probably because it's one of my least favorite styles.

Scotch ale base. Dark amber, thin head. Odd aroma, cinnamon and sticky malt, but not in a dessertlike sticky bun way. Toasty malt, medium alcohol, cinnamon and apple coming through as well. Somewhat thin in the finish.
