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 earthen wood tones, nearly putting potion in dire straits. Originally mistook surreptitious pecan-cocoa sway and dried fig dash embellishing resinous 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. Scotch whiskey essence gains tangy bruised orange regalia over its welcoming candy apple path leading into a sturdy tangerine spleen. Barren nuttiness affects off-dry hops. Bitter cocoa malts carve earthen peat trail, accruing a smidgen of dried fruit esters.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Chocolate-dried barley roast saddles comfortably next to wood-burnt hop-spiced prune souring. Illusions of rye, tobacco, and maple fill out sweet Scotch-soaked caramel-candied mocha-malted background perfectly. Brewery defunct: 2003.

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

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.
