Enjoyable burgundy-hued, mocha-scented Scot with carbolic soda-like opening gaining earthy grain prominence prior to sweet ‘n sour tingly-spiced cherry-grape innuendo decorates robust wood burnt finish. Musty roasted coffee bottom maintains stability.

Wood-charred tobacco-stained black coffee souring lure maple-sapped burnt hickory, chalky mocha, muted raisin, and tobacco illusions for fantastic frothy tan-headed dry-bodied peculiarity. Sneaky orange rind influence makes brilliant cameo below thickened tar, leather, and nut bitterness. Richer, creamier, and more pungent than Guinness Stout.

Sweet iced tea entry gives way to fleeting wood-burnt barleywine elegance, impacting prune-soured sugar plum finish. Despite ‘red’ labeling, perhaps inspired by hop-spiced fruiting and toasted barley malting, resembles less nutty brown ale.

Foamy bubbles cascade above muddy texture while pouring syrupy candy-red-hued 8.5% alcohol ale. Pervasive barleywine opulence enriched by barley-toasted chocolate sweetness and cherry-pureed prune-plum tartness to moderate nutty finish.
