Bottle at RBESG 2014. It pours red-brown with a small beige head. The nose is toasty, brown bread, dried fruits and earth. The taste is bitter, toffee, dried fruits, twig, watery, mild spice and dirt with a short finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Sticky mouth-feel. Meh. Not much to it.

Bottle - Rich bourbon and chocolate notes. Some hints of molasses and vanilla. Dark clear amber with a foamy tan head. The barrel aging comes through and matches well with the dark ale. Not too sweet and considering, a pretty clean finish that isn’t too cloying. Whisky and roasted malts shine throughout with a mild bitterness that gives is a great mouthfeel. Pretty good, glad I have another.

Brown,small fast fading beige head.Sour acetic nose and palate.Smoky sweetness in mid.Mild,but lasting hop finish. Sour & smoky don’t mix. Another poor effort from a once decent brewery!

Bottle from Central City Liquor Store, Surrey
Dark brown color, almost black, with creamy steady head. Moderate aroma of cream and Bourbon, also very light sourness. Decent body strength; flavor of dark caramel, with light butter and Bourbon whiskey, very light peat and very light malt sourness; the final is dryer.
Drinkable but a bit messy.

650mL bottle, pours a cola / chestnut brown with a small beige head. Aroma of scotch, slight wood barrels, toasted nuts and caramel sweetness. Flavour begins semi-sweet with caramel, shifting more towards toasted nuts, barely a trace of the barrels, very light peated malts, then ends with a slight astringency. Very light-bodied, especially for the style, missing some depth and viscosity that I'd prefer for a scotch ale. Another only decent one from Russell.
