16 oz can from John, thanks bud, 2/15/24. Pours a deep mahogany color with a thin beige head that dissipates quickly down to nothing and leaves almost no lace on the glass. Rich, malty, and somewhat sweet. Brown sugar, caramel, toffee. Toasty and nutty. Grainy. Raisin, fig, and some red berry. Develops nicely on the flavor profile as it warms. Tasty stuff, and a style I rarely see these days, so fun it is a fun one to revisit.

Nut brown with a large soapy tan head that lingered. Malty with dark fruit, caramel, bread crust and windex. Long finish. Medium body.

Taster at Colorado Plus. Pours a clear, ruby color, with a substantial, beige head. The nose is cherry, cream, vanilla, oak, and some light smoke. Sweet and syrupy, without any bitterness or balance. Light to medium body, with a smooth, slick palate. This is a fun beer. Solid and smooth.

Pint at the brewery - more of a scotch ale than a Scottish ale - very sweet, notes of smoke and caramelized sugars, sometimes bordering on burnt sugars, sadly - cherry, dough - a light acidity that I’m not sure is intentional - dark bread and a light spiciness - eh.
