Though medium-bodied Scotch ale lacks aggressiveness and has roundabout nature, its coarse elements never debunk dried fruited nature. Fungi peat-smoked earthen wood tone and dry tobacco continence rendezvous with rotted orange, fig, and date souring on cider-y back end. Dirty flattened-out finish picks up wavered walnut and unrefined cocoa illusions plus soapy residue. Creamier tap version upped brown chocolate and toffee notes to better emulate rich dessert beer.
