Pouring like an expensive champagne, this tawny wheat-thickened ale coats the tongue with caramel malts, sweet plum, and barleywine notes. An unsophisticated pleasure filling the middle ground between Samuel Smith IPA from Samuel Adams Scotch Ale.

Ironic ‘Jinx’ moniker puts whammy on elusive ‘02-introduced light-bodied peat-smoked autumnal ale inspired by ‘doctrines of medieval chemists.’ Acidic sour orange esters haunt muted wheat-grass trifle, vacant raisin triviality, benign hickory smoked sweetness, and abbreviated earthy wood tones, nearly putting potion in dire straits. Originally mistook surreptitious pecan-cocoa sway and dried fig dash embellishing resin-y hop scourge for metallic astringency.

Top notch 8% alcohol-fueled russet Scotch ale with soft eggshell head connects dried raisin and sour prune to extremely addicting honeyed butterscotch sweetness. Fluctuating black cherry-burgundy hints strengthen chewy yeast resin of creamy slow sipper, gaining piney, floral, and cola nut accents at supple finish. Perfect for dessert.

Sweet tobacco nose intrigues thrillingly robust ruby brown Scotch ale. Creamy chocolate kiss richness and caramel-coffee stickiness linger to overripe black cherry juncture. Smoked cedar entices mellow chocolate-liqueured English porter finish subdued by slight diacetyl acerbity.

Nice n’ smooth tawny-hued rust-headed moderate body manages to retain full-flavored assertion and Scotch whiskey essence. Tangy bruised orange frontage welcomes candy apple path to tangerine spleen and barren nuttiness. Off-dry hops and bitter cocoa malts carve earthen peat trail, accruing ester-y dried fruit smidgen.

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

Deep garnet-chestnut-hued hop-roasted traditional Scotch ale offers friendly coffee nuttiness, butterscotch-molasses-caramel sweetness and bruised cherry tingle, but lacks advertised ‘wintry seasonal’ (nutmeg-cinnamon) spicing. Toasted barley upends earthy peat-tobacco illusions and sarsaparilla hint, but supposed wee heavy needs extra lactose strength.

Doughy-scented medium-bodied reddish golden Scotch ale accentuates yeast-sweetened burnt caramel essence, roasted barley midst, and peat malt smokiness with sour fruit adjuncts. Ascending bitterness enhances assertive off-dry grainy earthiness, cedar wood finish, and toffee-like aftertaste.

Dry chocolate and roasted barley saddle comfortably next to wood burnt hop spice, mocha malt sourness, and prune ripeness. Illusions of rye, tobacco, and maple fill out sweet Scotch-soaked candied caramel background perfectly. Brewery defunct: 2003.

Mocha malt drone, heavy barley influence, and butterscotch glaze provide subtle up-front nuance for moderate-bodied Scotch ale. Soft hop-spiced bottom complements subsequent cocoa-caramel sweetness well. Just needs more resilience.

Roasted barley tag, sweet whiskey snag, and smoked peat malt slag make this Scotch ale likable. Band-Aid mouthfeel is an acquires taste and after a few sips the dissipating lemon peel-embittered finish becomes bland, inefficient.

Beautiful roasted malt sweetness intrigues nose then mouth and elegant spiced hops caress smooth buttery flow as cascading auburn bubbles surface quickly above burgundy body. Fruity esters, plum, and toffee-caramel outline barleywine finish, consuming espresso spell and earthy resin-peat-black tea twinge.
