Don’t let misleading Scotch ale styling fool you. Molasses-thick ruby-maroon ‘wee heavy’ is more reminiscent of a dry port with its tobacco-stained red-purple grape density, sinister burgundy-bourbon sedation, vegetal peat-topsoil earthiness, and wet wood nuance. Maple-tarred black coffee bittering subsumes latent fig, date, and fruitcake hints.

Exquisite maroon-hued chestnut-highlighted coriander-spiced fruited malt brew gains burnt wood attenuation, sour coffee-chocolate strut, deep cherry ripeness, and herbal-tobacco accent ’til dry prune punctuation embellishes barleywine finish for debonair digestif.

Pouring like an expensive champagne (and formerly brewed by Caledonian), tawny wheat-honeyed wee heavy coats the tongue with caramel-malted plum wine, barleywine, and bourbon boozing. Musty oaken vanilla and dry cherry illusions seep into leathery peat spine. An unsophisticated pleasure filling the middle ground between Samuel Smith IPA from Samuel Adams Scotch Ale.

Sweet barley-malted Scotch-grazed caramel frontage maintains syrupy creaminess. Bock-like in its full-bodied essence. Brewery defunct: 2001.

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.
