look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 3.5

A: pours dark as night. Really nice looking beer.

S: Bit of hop, bit of roast, bit of milkiness. Some caramel chocolate. Faintest whiff of alcohol. Some nice spice and chocolate and ginger. Phlegm and cough syrup. Green apple. Lots of sugar and caramel complexities.

T: Quite roasty and bitter. Residual sweetness initially detectable but in fact the beer is well balanced and drinkable. The taste could easily be that of a stout. Far less sweet than Speedway actually.

M: Good actually. Thick and creamy, like a milkshake.

O: Good beer. Holds up very well, and was actually very well balanced.

I believe a 2013 bottle, but not sure....Alesmith...achem

A: Pours a dark golden slightly reddish color with a 2 finger fluffy kahki colored head. Some noticeable lacing on the glass along with some alcohol legs.

S: Some caramel, toffee, roasted malts prevailing. Some slight dark cherry wafts through the aroma as well.

T: Reminds me of a red cream soda spiked with something. Getting that rich caramel malts, with toffee back drop and some of that cherry I got off the aroma. Creamy and smooth. Getting rich malts with a hint of smokiness. Slighty bready as well.

M: Smooth, full bodied with a slight alcohol burn.

O: A fantastic beer that I highly recommend. Esp if you're a scotch ale fan as I am. This cranks the style up ten fold, creating a fuller bodied experience. The alcohol makes its presence known but isn't an ass about it.

Served slightly chilled into a snifter.

Pours a sable brown with half an inch of dark tan head that recedes leaving moderate surface layer and moderate lacing.

Aromas of caramelized sugars, dried fruits with a hint of mineral and alcohol in the background.

Flavors follow through the aromas with a touch of bitter coffee.

Medium to heavy bodied with moderate carbonation and a sweet finish and moderate aftertaste.

Overall a very nice beer. My only complaint is that I expect a little more smoky flavor from the style. Would go very nice with some sweet BBQ.
