The mystery growler at the Cellars tasting. This is a scotch ale done right, but perhaps a little too light. It has a nice smoky aroma, but not too much smoke, as well as sweet malt and rotting fruit. Flavor has a little more smoke and lots of malt sweetness, a fairly sweet beer overall. It could use more alcohol perhaps, and maybe more malt, but definitely a success. Black beer poured from a growler. Low carbonation.
