Incipient American-brewed Belgian-styled Scotch ale (perused in 2010) makes good impression. Deep amber-hued medium body brings dry Scotch malting to hop-spiced cherry-pureed banana-breaded purple grape wining. Candi-sugared fungi-like yeast sinew provides obligatory Belgian ale character to sour-mashed apple chutney ascension as well as tertiary pine nut, hazelnut, and chestnut illusions.

Creamy caramel-malted cherry-pureed medium-to-full body cuts bittersweet chocolate-covered raisin and spiced prune-fig thickness with sharp carbolic fizz. Peat-y wood-smoked whiskey overtones drape seasonal cinnamon-allspice-nutmeg midst. Raspberry, anise, and cola nut play backup.

Creamy full-bodied slow-sipping oak-aged wee heavy brings wafting peat-smoked single-malt Scotch sweetness to brown-sugared fruit-candied affluence. Chunky yeast sediment settles near bottom of turbid brown body, thickening syrupy molasses richness, chewy raisin-pureed cherry-bruised fig-honeyed fruiting and warming port-bourbon illusions. Butterscotch, oaken vanilla, and cinnamon-spiced apple upsurge round out alcohol-whirred paragon.

Semi-interesting deep amber full body brings creamy caramelized honey malting to cane-sugared grape-orange-cherry waver and biscuit-y bottom end, but gratingly sharp phenol hop bite overwhelms flavor profile. Moreover, partially disguised 10% alcohol boozing tempers hollow fruit-grained finish and tertiary macadamia-walnut remnant.

Creamy Scotch sweetness and nutty brown chocolate-y center hold up well against dry fruited plain of formerly known Fat Bastard Ale (named after Austin Powers character). Praline, hazelnut, macadamia, and chestnut reinforce rum-soaked dried cherry resolve and sugar plum reminder. Smooth.

Boozy (9.5% alcohol) toffee-hazed Scotch Ale brewed with maple syrup makes fine dessert beer. Smoky maple-glazed brown-sugared butterscotch center appropriates creamy caramel-chocolate malting for alcohol-burnt banana liqueur, burgundy, and brandy whir. Recessive cocoa-buttered raisin-plum illusions linger politely below.

Stellar cola-hued garnet-highlighted Scotch ale swamps palate with resilient whiskey-licked anise spunk and syrupy molasses gunk. Frothy black chocolate and sticky toffee fortify creamy center as smoked peat malts shadow tertiary tobacco chew, black currant, Amaretto, and spiced rum illusions.

Redolent of a sweet chocolate-y bock up-front, though unsettled malt protraction lacks distinction and banana-cherry serenity falters when warmed. Oily metallic finish hinders oak-y hazelnut retreat.

Stalwart Scotch essence reigns above fleshy-headed dark amber ale. Sinewy malts prompt barley sweetness countering crisp hop bitterness before passive dry maize finish diminishes boozy harshness.

Bold port surge, punctual cocoa-dried oats flaking, and lactic chocolate liqueur waft consume fulsome mocha frontage. Creamy vanilla milkshake illusion seduces blunt astringent finish propped up by raisin, peat, and black cherry notes.

Though medium-bodied Scotch ale lacks aggressiveness and has roundabout nature, its coarse elements never debunk dried fruited nature. Fungi peat-smoked earthen wood tone and dry tobacco continence rendezvous with rotted orange, fig, and date souring on cider-y back end. Dirty flattened-out finish picks up wavered walnut and unrefined cocoa illusions plus soapy residue. Creamier tap version upped brown chocolate and toffee notes to better emulate rich dessert beer.

Fascinating overall depth allows stylistic merger to sustain unique brilliance. Scotch-styled molasses malts intermingle with Belgian candied yeast, inducing spellbinding dried fruit/ red wine coalition. Bittersweet raisin puree and stewed prune illusions enjoin boozy bourbon, brandy, Merlot, and burgundy intoxication for fuzzy-brained enjoyment.
