Orange in color with an off-white head. Has a nice tropical/pine aroma with some underlying caramel. The taste follows suit, with a good light sweet balance to the pronounced hop flavors. I preferred the IPA here to the DIPA.

Thought this one was solid, but tended a touch sweeter than something I'd want to drink a lot of. Still, a nice tripel.

On tap at Two Brothers tavern.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy burnt orange color with a bar pour’s kind of slim white head that dissipated immediately.
The smell started off with a burst of sweet cherries followed by some sweet apples, light apricots, and then a light citrus to gently run into a smooth caramel.
The taste was mainly sweet and barely carried any bitterness about it. A lingering semi-sweet aftertaste leads to a quick wet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. Carbonation felt pretty good as an AIPA and it brings about decent bitterness to hit the tongue.
Overall, I say this was interesting, as it had a sweet nose and taste but carried the typical palate of an AIPA. Not sure what to think other than I’d probably have again. Mainly by itself.

On tap at Hinesburg public house.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a dark brown colorwith a semi-transparent ruddy red around the sides. There’s no head nor lacing.
The smell started off with a caramel maltiness with a dried peat, light smokiness and some light chocolate.
The taste was moderately smokey sweet, and allowed a nice rolling sweet glazing of the combination of chocolate, peat and caramel into the aftertaste and leave a semi-wet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. Carbonation is pretty subdued but still good for the style.
Overall, I say this was a pretty good Scottish ale that I could have again. Definitely goes with food as it helped to add yet meld nicely with Buffalo wings.
