Dark amber color. Beautiful creamy head. Caramel aroma with a hint of Scotch. The Scotch flavor comes through as well as a taste of coffee and burnt caramel. Nice balance of hops and malt. Refreshing. I could drink this on a regular basis.

This is certainly a beautiful looking beer.
A dark amber colour with hints of orange below a full, creamy, white head.
The aroma is fairly faint but a sweet smell is noticeable.
The feel is nice, creamy, thick and smooth.
Tastes are all English Ale. Lot's of heavy malt sweetness with a very nice hoppy brightness on top.
There are hints of caramel and Scotch Whiskey in there as well. Some vanilla tastes blend in with the caramel.
Not bad at all. A good session beer if a bit on the heavy flavoured side for that purpose.
