$ 2.15 (Including tax!)/bomber ($ 0.098/oz) at Spec’s, Schertz, TX
Undated bottle at 42 degrees into a hand washed and dried JK snifter
Aroma – malt
Head – enormous (> 10 cm, rolled over the top of the glass before I could quit pouring), tan, frothy/creamy, diminishing to an irregular one to two cm ring and a creamy layer
Lacing - none
Body – deep amber, clear
Flavor – basically malt, slightly sweet. No unusual or outstanding flavors. No hops, no alcohol, no diacetyl
Palate – medium, creamy, lively carbonation bordering on fizzy
Basically a scotch ale, a little on the over carbonated side. Unremarkable but very cheap.
Appearance 3.5, Aroma 4, Flavor 3, Palate 3, Overall 3

Poured at 46°F from a 22oz bottle (no date) into a Thistle. Consumed on 08Feb16.
LOOK: Pours with 2 fingers worth of khaki foam that dissipates into a quarter fingers worth after 3 minutes. A moderate amount of very thick lacing is left behind from the dissipation. Dark copper in color with a slight cloudiness. Rising bubbles are medium in size and subtle in quantity. Lacing is thick and high in quantity.
SMELL: Mild aromas of sweet peaches, caramel, and toffee are backed by subtle black tea and sweet bread aromas. This smells nice, but is too mild to be considered great.
TASTE: Mild sweet peach and caramel flavors first enter onto the palate and are immediately followed by mild black tea flavors. The black tea flavors bring a nice bittering balance to the sweetness. Mild sweet bread and toffee flavors along with a hint of medicinal bitterness and smoked goodness enter lastly as all previous flavors persist, except for sweet peach, which grow stronger.
FEEL: Full-bodied and moderately carbonated. Goes down smooth and somewhat creamy. Finishes with a mild dryness. A slight alcoholic warmth can be felt as it goes down the throat.
NOTE: I was honestly terrified of trying this beer based on the reviews of others, but I found this to be quite pleasant. Not the best of its style the I have had, though. Too mild for me, it reminded me of a Scottish Ale. I can see what other what were talking about regarding the medicinal taste, but I only perceived hints.

Served from a 22oz bottle into 2 standard pints.
My first impression was "insanely carbonated" as it foamed an airy, high head immediately into the first glass.
My first sensation was the smoke but my wife went straight to band-aid so we may have gotten a poor batch.
After it set for a few minutes, the light "sting" on the tongue was still there but the overall flavor improved. It has a malty, sweet taste that to me felt similar to a Brown. So if Tadcastle ever burns down, this is what might come of it.
Overall we didn't like it much, but as I said, it's possible we got a bad one as no one else seems to have mentioned the foam.

While I love a peaty whisky, something about this gives it a medicinal flavor. No, that's not quite right, it's more of a clinical flavor. It tastes like a doctor's exam room smells, like some combination of disinfectant and Band-Aids. It also gives the tongue a bit of a tingle. I expect this from a good Scotch, but not from an ale. I suspect I'd have a numb tongue after a few, but I doubt I'll have another any time soon.
