Thanks Blaine.
Poured into a thistle, the appearance was a dark copper color with a finger’s worth of eggshell white foamy head. Mild stringy lace.
The aroma had some notes of clean caramel/toffee malts, some dark fruit, damp wood, sly smoke, earthiness, some grassiness, light herbal qualities and a little bit of cherry.
The flavor leaned towards the sweet side with a rolling smokiness coming in underneath. Malty to smoky sort of aftertaste, but super light. Finish was moderately sweet with a touch of smoke.
The palate was about medium bodied with a good sipping quality about it. Carbonation felt fine, fairly low but expected. ABV felt appropriate.
Overall, really nice scotch ale that I would have again.

12 ounce bottle from Whole Foods Wauwatosa, 9/26/16. Murky rusty red, small dense creamy tan head, good retention. Aroma of toffee, earth, caramel, apple skins, vanilla. The taste is apples, strawberry, caramel, vanilla, toffee. Thin-medium bodied, low carbonation, hints of spice. Solid.
