Bottle from Brewery Creek, Vancouver; vintage 2012, 1 year old (Jan 2014)
Pours a cloudy dark amber to mahogany color, thick, with almost no head. Aroma of caramel, treacle, maple syrup. Good body strength; yet, the mouthfeel is quite lean for this gravity; good flavor of malt and caramel, quite British; correct bitterness level; alcohol warmth, but not boozy; overall it has a good nutty touch.
Very good, but it doesn't justify the very high price tag.

Shared bottle. Pours almost black with a foamy tan head. Aroma is a bit subdued, with some malt and rye notes. Taste is more pronounced with rye, roasted malt, earth, plenty of dark chocolate, citrus, and pine. Very good.

500 ml bottle.
An inch of foam is what I get with a fairly vigorous pour. Does well with the lacing.
Smells on the sweet side. Caramel, toffee, chocolate, other than that, it has a smoky, peaty aroma that a lot of this style seem to embrace.
Taste wise, Smoky, peaty, strong malty sweetness up front with toffee, hints of dark fruit mid palate, chocolate finish. Bitter chocolate.
Great mouthfeel.
A well brewed Scotch Ale but I was hoping for something like MacAndrews Scotch Ale. No go there but this is a very good one.

Pours a slight hazy golden-amber colour with a big warm cap, long lasting with creamy-foamy lacing. Fruity aromas from the citrus hops and some notes of coriander. The taste is grassy with the hops with a real dry finish. A very dry and bitter Imperial IPA.
