On-tap at VCBW 2011 Brewery Creek Fest.

This one was closer to 10% abv according to the server.

Strong alcohol in the aroma, somewhat whiskey-like, nutty biscuits with hints of toffee.

Flavour is remarkably smooth for its weight, though a bit whiskey-like as well. Some nice malt flavour (grainy biscuit & nuts with hints of toffee & coffee roast), balanced bitterness.

Moderate body has a drying alcohol finish.

A good drinker, unique & well done.

This was sold to me in a growler but this beer is really their Scottish Ale put in a lager tank and frozen. The remaining beer is then re-kegged at a higher alcohol.

This is a great beer because the freezing process has somehow smoothed out the finish. The beer is fairly malty which to be expected since this is a Scottish Ale. The drinkability is amazing considering the alcohol. A session beer with dire consequences.
