500 mL bottle pour, with a huge thanks to JStax for sending this over. Really interesting scotch ale here, and tons of peat up front. Smooths out after a hit, but still remains a really nice smokey character, smooth, slightly rich malt. All assumptions placed this beer at about 8.5%. Instead, I'm homebrewing and day drinking a 13%. Love it. Copper caramel pour. Tan fizz head. Bold flavor that isn't too rich despite the strength. Incredibly unique and well executed scotch ale.
