The Duck-Rabbit’s Scotch Ale is a full-bodied, deep copper-colored treasure. Bold and malty, this beer’s sweetness comes from a massive quantity of grain complemented by some serious kettle caramelization. The flavor is rounded out by a warming alcohol sensation.

Bottle. A ruby-brown, almost clear beer with a small beige head on top. Malty and sweetish nose, with nice hops, alcohol and caramel. Alcohol, beef-stock, dried fruits, sherry, some hops and phenols, caramel and dried fruits in the flavor. Warming, full-bodied and well carbonated. The finish has dried fruits, hops, alcohol and some roasted malt. A really lovely, warming and full-bodied winter beer, maybe a bit on the sweet side, but really nice. (090522)

Scored this 12oz bottle as an extra in a trade with SmokePot23. Thanks Joe! Pours a translucent, copper, bronze amber with a thin, creamy white head. Aroma is exactly what I like out of big malt bombs, plenty of sugary notes, a little peat, slightly boozy, a little bit of leather, dark fruits, cookies and crackers. Could have used a bit more hop in the nose. Flavor goes wrong a little bit, more cookies, crackers and biscuits, but there’s also some strange, slightly off, corn mash like hard sweetness. Dry finish with some burn from the alcohol. More abrasive than it needs to be.

12oz bottle. Thick chestnut brown color. Very sweet, shows it’s alcohol. Dark and sticky. Caramel malt, lots of its, very thick and sugary. Pungently woody and sour, reminiscent of some Belgian Scottish Ales. OK.

Bottle thanks to TURDFERGUSON. Marked as best before 07/09. Pours with a small, light brown head that fades and a clear, auburn hued body. Aroma of brown sugar, port, strong sticky toffee, vinous, raisins, light smoke, peat and graham cracker. Taste is maple, peat, smoke and booze, not quite as deep or nice as the aroma. Syrupy mouthfeel, light bubbles.

12 oz bottle courtesy of Suttree. Best before 07 09 notched on bottle. Pour is hazed ruby brown with a smallish light tan head. Aroma is floral sweet caramel, and not too much else. The aroma is very soft, faint and rounded. Taste is a twangy bitter sweet caramel sweetness, with a nice dose of peatiness and malt. The sweetness borders on cloying. The finish is very much peat, earthy and lingering. The taste is much more forward than the nose. The floral hoppiness is in the finish as well. Palate is medium, mouth coating and a bit slick at the same time. This beer is quite complex and tasty, thanks for sending my way Phil!

Thanks to Rogueone for sharing a 2007 bottle. This brew is a hazed brownish-amber color with a minimal light beige head that disappears relatively fast. Thin rings of lacing. Peat malt and sweet caramel in the nose. Rich, sweet body with flavors of earthy malt, caramel, toffee and a touch of alcohol smoldering in the background. The finish is sweet caramel malt with a lingering smoked malt aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Thanks Santa! Huge aroma, loaded with sugary toffee bready malts, and deep persimmon and date fruitiness. Just very bready. Appealing dark red color, purplish tinge, thin layer of fine bubbled head, short lived. Modest lacing. Very heady in the mouth, with alcohol and fruit swirling over the palate and sending wafts of retronasal aromas back up. Finish is burnt sugar, a little grainy on the sides provides some complexity, with a light bitterness to keep it in the realm of balance. Heavy but easy palate. Pretty sweet on the whole.
