Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

How could you not like the name of this brew? Short stubby 12 oz bottle that is certainly not a long neck. Has a twist off cap. No head. Cloudy root beer appearance. Chocolate rubbing alcohol aroma, really attractive. OOOH, smoothness makes you take a big swig then the malt alky impact whacks you in the palate. A rather strong alky brew and it
Bottle. Poured a cloudy purplish-brown color with a medium light-brown head. Nice lacing. Aroma is very malty with a sweet fruitiness to it. Very nice mouthfeel. Flavor is very strong, with malt, alcohol, caramel, and an almost smoke flavor to it. Interesting and tasty beer. Strong Scottish Ale for fans of the style.
Bottle: Dark amber, mahogany, light head and lacing. Nose of bright alcohol and earthy hops overshooting the sweet caramelly malts. Some chewy toffee. The flavor is nice and chewy, rich raisin and plum notes. Thick mouthfeel, creamy sweet, bright and fruit. Light hops, nice scotch.
