12oz bottle pours with a deep amber body that supports a billowing infected looking tan head (but this is not an infection). The aroma offers up caramel, sweet wort, molasses, a dash of sweet cherry like fruity esters and some faint graham cracker notes. The taste has a pretty rich mix of caramel malts, molasses, sweet maltiness and a dash of earthy malts. Toward the finish it picks up additional sweet dark fruity ester notes of brown sugar dusted dates and figs. Pretty nice.3.6

22oz bomber pours with a deep copper to amber body that supports a light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up caramel, prunes, a bit of brown sugar and then a light fruity malty earthiness. The taste delivers smooth soft sweet malts heading into crystal malts, a dash of roasted malts and then a pleasing malty biscuit malty sort of earthy note. To midway thin soft sweet prune and fig like fruity esters come to the surface. Pretty nice Scotch Ale that delivers the malty, estery and earthy notes I need in the style. 3.8. Up with average to 3.7
