Have 2 or 3 and it is more like Kung fu

06MAR14, New Albanian Pizzeria and Public House, New Albany, IN Draft, half-pint 2012 version. Pours a clear dark caramel color with minimal off white head. Has a sweet and malty aroma. A tiny hint of molasses, but it's a good blend. Flavor is initially sweet, with some body coming in and some tang on the finish. It's quite interesting, but a little difficult to place after the spicy beer cheese. It's a little less boozy than the North Coast Old Stock, and the caramel/molasses is a little better blended with some sharp booziness/bitterness. The bitterness is really light, and the slightly wet finish lets the sweetness and booziness have one last light-footed dance before the next sip. It's whole, complete, and a little bit sweetly grainy. Which makes it quite satisfying.

Intense malt flavor and good amount of aroma. Great beer but lacks a bit if complexity. Maybe should age for a couple years.

Similar to bacon breakfast in taste. Would work well as a Bloody Mary chaser. However, no tolerable at 12 oz.

Tastes more like a barley wine than a typical scotch ale. Maybe it needs a new category called Imperial Scotch Ale.

Strong

Very scotchy. Eh

Heavy beer. Good but only for one or two at most.

Great oak carmel nose. Full body with oak and malt flavors coming through and a touch of carmel. Great beer!!

Scotch ale, sorta tastes like a choc stout, hint of apple cinnamon. Described as smelling like caramel apple w a hint of cinnamon and tastes like smokey choc chip cookie.
