Dark brownish red. Thin bubbly head. No sediment. Light smoke and sweetness to it. Not over done. I like it. Tryed 4 from this brewery tonight. This is the best of the four.

Appearance: dark brown with a thin head that quickly dissipates.
Smell: you can definitely detect the smoked malt here, but that's about it.
Taste: smoked malt alongside roasted and chocolate notes. The hops are solidly in the background.
Mouth Feel: smooth and creamy with low carbonation.
Overall: the use of peat-smoked malt from Scotland make this unlike any Scotch Ale I've had. It's not nearly as strong in caramel malt flavor as I'm used to in this style, but the smoked malt used is showcased well.
