At the brewery: Pours brown with an off-white head. Aroma is dark fruits and hints of caramel, vanilla, and bourbon. Taste is slightly sweet with really subtle barrel aging hints coming through. This was a smooth and mellow Scotch ale (far from authentic to style...), which was easy to drink and kind of restrained.

At the brewery: Pours black with a tan head. Aroma is coffee beans and a whole lot of them (even though they do not put coffee into this). Anyway, the taste is slightly bitter coffee. They said this was an Irish dry stout, but this is definitely a much more American Stout. That said, I liked it.

Brewery: Golden with a white head. Aroma is very herbal and has notes of sesame seeds or peanut butter. Taste is slightly hoppy and quite dry. Interesting, but not particularly outstanding.
