Dark brown body with a spinning bubble island spinning in the middle. Aroma is a not so goo wet ashes ( campfire after a rain storm) peat but a fake chemical peat, and burnt coffee. Taste is much of the same but far less chemically fake then the aroma. Peat, burnt coffee a smoky chocolate beer almost reminds me of a porter. After taste seems very sweet. There is an odd hoppy bite that I’m really digging but not enough to rescue this beer. I guess this was ok but not the beer I was hoping it would be.

Poured out a solid red brew covered with a large thick tan head with nice retention and some patchy lacing. The aroma was really nice with its soft, fragrant impression with nice bready and caramel malts...seems like there is some roast here....or toast....kinda stuck in the middle with that one... The flavour is very good with ample caramel and solid toasted malts, toffee and smoke. Yum yum! A nice soft feeling beer with good carbonation, a good middle and finishes with a slight bitter and smoky aftertaste. The only negative that I can say about this beer is that is does come across watery.

Had this from the bottle. Got a six at NB liquor. First thing that was suprising was the abv of only 4.8 percent. A little bit of carbination but not too bad. Very peaty and lots of aroma but fizzled out, not alot of bite on the aftertaste. Needs a bit more omph

On tap at Maxwell's Plumb Poured a deep cola brown with no red highlights...2 finger sticky cap that laced the glass well...modest carbonation. Aroma was dominated with peat smoke and light caramel tones. Sturdy malt spine, medium-heavy bodied and the signature silky texture from this brewer. Starts with sweet smokey chewy malts then some toatyness and nuts with light cocoa tones...finishes with a pleasant bittering from both hops and roasted grain husk. A very mellow, rich and smoky scotch ale that is verrry drinkable. Top marks on this one

Thanks to Plug for bringing this one back from the brewpub. This beer is now called Pump House Scotch Ale. Pours a dark caramel-copper colour with a nice creamy tanned head. Good lacing with medium retention. The nose is nutty and malty with a touch of brown sugar. Watery mouthfeel and tiny bubble carbonation. Starts off on a caramel note and finishes on a smoked aftertaste. Too bad body is too thin and taste too light, because this would be a great Scotch ale... or rauchbier.
