Taster at the Carter Payne. Pours a clear, ruby color, with a small, gray head. The aroma is leather, dates, brown bread, pepper, and walnuts. Sweet and syrupy, with a touch of bitterness. Light to medium body, with a smooth, malty palate. Simple and quality, with some good yeasty character.

Taster at the Carter Payne. Pours a hazy, dark, brown color, with a small, beige head. The aroma is lots of oak, orange juice, pine sap, schnapps, and toffee. Sweet and boozy, with a sad, off bitterness. Hot and rough.

Taster at the Carter Payne. Pours a dull, pale, clear yellow color, with a small, off-white head. The aroma is honey, vanilla, quinine, mild agave syrup, and orange peel. Dry and a bit funky, with a long, bitter finish. Interesting, but kinda unpleasant.

Taster at the Carter Payne. Pours a clear, fizzy, yellow color, with a medium, foamy, white head. The aroma is corn syrup, saaz hops, cloves, butterscotch, gin, and pine. Sweet and boozy, with a mild bitterness. Medium body, zesty, and quite hot. Not bad, though.

Taster at the Carter Payne. Pours dark brown, with a medium, foamy, tan head. The aroma is caramel, light peat, brown sugar, and cream. Sweet and sugary, without any bitterness. Medium body, with a syrupy, thick mouthfeel. This is a pretty tasty, malty beer. Lacks a lot of the scotch character I was hoping for.

Sampled while pouring at ACBF. Pours a hazy, orange color, with a big, frothy, off-white head. The nose is white bread, strong rosemary, hay, and bread dough. Sweet and yeasty, with a bit of bitterness. Light to medium body, with a dry, dusty, and clean palate. Interesting, with tons of savory spice.
