Brewed in the Highland tradition, this ale’s notable features come from Scottish yeast and an extended maturation time. Rich, smooth and deeply malty, the aroma of dark fruit and caramel precedes this full-bodied beer’s clean malt finish.

Tap at Sedona. Pours murky reddish. Heavy plum nose. Flavor is plum, alcohol, bread crust, grass and slightly browning leaves. Strong flavor and long lingering aftertaste. Seems to be more alcohol than what it claims, which means it’s not hiding its 7.4% very well, which is really my only complaint.

Keg at the brewery. Clear dark amber, large creamy tan head, good retention. Aroma of caramel, toffee, cherries, hint of smoke. The taste is toffee, earth, caramel, cherry, citrus. Medium bodied, lingering fruitiness, mild booze.
