Dark Horse Brewing Co., Marshall, Michigan
Style: Strong Scotch Ale
Serving Style: Draft

Aroma: Sweet caramel malt with wisps of smoke.
Appearance: Brown and murky with little to no head.
Flavor: Rich malty complexity, chocolate, caramel, smoke, with some dark fruity undertones. Very light bitterness. More smokey than I expected, but that’s not a bad thing. Flavor does not even hint at the 9% ABV.
Mouthfeel: Silky, creamy, and rich. I would have sworn this was on a nitrogen tap, but it wasn’t. Low carbonation. Only the slightest hint of alcohol warmth.
Overall Impression: This is a very satisfying beer. Rich, sweet, malty, with all that lovely smoke. The richness and high alcohol would probably limit me to one glass, however.
