Metalchopz (5735) - Cantley, Quebec, CANADA - MAY 5, 2020UPDATED: MAY 5, 2020 First trip to this brewery, April 2019. Caramel amber colour with a beige head, decent stay and lacing. Malty nose, but quite mild compared to their Barleywine. Rich malty taste with a cutting hoppy finish. Pretty dry mouthfeel for the style. A hoppier Scotch Ale that goes down nicely.
GregMooreNH (6520) - Bedford, New Hampshire, USA - SEP 24, 2018Pours clear copper with a full, light tan head. Aroma is light caramel and clove. Taste is caramel and raisin, moving to bananas and some nice peat. Finish is some light roast. A good Scotch ale.
Travlr (30307) - No fixed abode, South Dakota, USA - JUL 19, 2018Draft at the source. Clear deep amber brown color off white head. Aroma of lightly toasted caramel. Taste has caramel, light toffee. Very malt forward.
muzzlehatch (4975) - Beloit, Wisconsin, USA - FEB 23, 201822 ounce bottle from Pearl Street Beverage in Burlington, VT (November 2016), served at cellar temp from a Maudite glass. Pours a dark translucent amber-bronze, small-to-moderate foamy topping, wispy lace....musty, stale wet malt aroma at first cleans up and becomes slightly more appealing after a few minutes settling, light notes of vanilla appear, a bit of pleasant toasted grain, but it remains underwhelming...it's a bit better once tasted, with some of that appropriate Scotch Ale character, light smokiness and bitterness balanced by a fairly strong caramel malt foundation - but it never quite comes together into anything better than OK, it's a bit too light in both body and flavor, and the finish is syrupy-sweet and just doesn't have enough bitterness or burnt notes to keep it from cloying. Low-ish carbonation; a real mediocrity overall.
DiarmaidBHK (7594) - Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, USA - OCT 21, 2017Sampler at brewery. Pours brown with a white head. Leaves trace lacing in the glass. Has some decent peat moss notes on the nose and tongue. Finished clean. Solid but not spectacular.
alobar (5116) - Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 1, 2017Pours an orange amber color with no head. Aroma of caramel, toffee, and some biscuit. Very sweet flavor with caramel, some biscuit, and toffee. A bit sweet for the style.
tapefuzz (2157) - Massachusetts, USA - SEP 6, 2016On tap at brewery. Pours clear amber with a small, quickly dissipating off-white head. Aroma is toffee malt, grain, and bread. Taste is sugar with some caramel and grain. A little yeast. Average carbonation. Thin, oily mouthfeel.
puboflyons (4654) - Allenstown, New Hampshire, USA - SEP 4, 2016From the 650 ml. bottle. It pours a kind of reddish-amber with good clarity but a head that fizzes and fades fast. Sweet barley malt character in the aroma and maybe a bit of marshy woodlands. No to low hop profile as to be expected. The body medium. The taste is incredibly sweet like sugar and a notable caramel malt flavor. It ends lightly bitter. Far more sweet than I prefer in my Scotch Ales.

AdamChandler (5974) - Enfield, New Hampshire, USA - DEC 14, 2015Burnt orange to brown appearance bitter aroma. Has a little candy aroma with a lot of herb. Bitter, orange peel, cinnamon, brown sugar but nothing in a sweet way. Good malt body. Nice mouthfeel
