Bottle from Appellation Wines. Pours clear dark brown with a thin tan head. Aromas of toffee and nuts. Taste brings some of the barrel, but mostly toffee and nuts. Full body, rich, creamy mouthfeel. Clean finish.

Bottle from Appellation Wines. Appearance - dark brown to black and opaque. Initially generous head this time. Nose - big toffee and nut thing going on. Just what a Scotch Ale should give. Taste - light burnt wood going into burnt toffee and nuts. Big praline thing. Palate - full bodied and creamy. Still very drinkable despite the richness. Overall - good stuff.
