Can. Just an average Scotch Ale. Amber color with not much head. Aroma is a malty, caramel, dried fruit smell. The taste is where it falls flat. The flavor starts off fine. Caramel and such. The after-taste is terrible. Chemical-bitter taste.

OK, got this for 2$ at total wine in NC, I like those places even tho some have started to cut back on their singles offering. This can pours an eye of rootbeer with a nose of a friendly malt. I drank this one from the can and from a glass at an ideal recommended presentation for appreciation, around 53, F in a traditional glass. It does have its friendly manner but it is a little volatile in nature as it finds its way down the gullet. Yes, well its 7% and you know it. I like this because even at its recommended warmer temperature, it seems rather civilized in nature considering the alky content.

Backlog January 2010. Clear amber body under a creamy white head. Very weak aroma, some malt. Taste is mild malt, hint of fruit and moderate bitterness. Medium body and short aftertaste. Rather straight forward plain beer.

Perfectly average, perfectly forgettable brewpub beer, a mild, thin scotch ale with a caramel and wort backbone and slightly buttery and bitter notes bringing up the back end. Not bad, not good, just something to fill out a flight while you nosh on chicharrones or a nice mushroom-swiss burger.

12oz can thanks to TAR

Good

Refrigerated 12 oz. aluminum can poured into a glass. Clear medium brown with little beige head. Aroma is caramel malt, medium body, low carbonation, and some lacing. Taste is nuts and caramel.

Can during RBWG hotel lobby tasting night 1, 19/02/15 think I brought this one ? Clear amber with a decent beige covering. Nose is apple orchard, musty fruit tones, nutty, toffee. Taste comprises biscuit, apple pie, bitter orange, brown sugar. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, sweet licks in the close. Bit of a mess.

Can. Pours a clear brown with no head. The aroma is scotch and peat. Thin mouth with strong scotch, light smoke, a bit watery.

Rich, deep hazy brown coloured body with a very hazy glow of lighter brown at the bottom and a thinnish, single centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of nuts, alcohol, paint, pecans, earth and some milk - quite pungent. Medium-bodied; Assertive flavour of cherries, lemons, turpentine, grass, nuts, alcohol and toasted malt - all over the place, really. Aftertaste shows a complex melange of citrus, malts and caramelised sugars, naturally not making sense together, but working sort-of in a kind of funky mix. Overall, a decent beer with some odd flavours - some work and some don’t, but a decent beer to try if you like the style, since it’s atypical. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Total Wine in Cary, North Carolina on 02-August-2014 for US$2,49 sampled at home in Washington on 22-September-2014.
