750 ml poured into a 22 oz. glass

A- Pours a brownish amber, about a finger of frothy and a little bit creamy head that fades to about a half finger, slightly above average carbonation.

S- Very sweet scotch malt smell. Some floral notes, a little bit of caramel, some oak, pretty complex, unique, one of the better smelling beers I've smelt.

T- Sweet malty taste, similar to smell. Sweet caramel malts mixed with a light scotch, with a very faint oak finish. Has a sweet scotch after-taste.

M- A little bit on the heavier side, syrupy (a little bit too much for my liking), not too much carbonation, abv well hidden.

O- I haven't had too many Scotch Ales (probably somewhere between 5-10), but this definitely ranks as one of the best if not the best one I had. It was definitely dominated by a sweet malty taste, almost a little bit too sweet. If you like a scotch flavor and really sweet beers this beer is probably the one for you. However if you hate sweet syrupy beers I would probably stay away.

The cask age didn't impart too much of an oak flavor. It would definitely be interesting to try this beer if it was aged a little bit longer.
