Booze...in 50 Words or Less: Oskar Blues Brewery Old Chub Scotch Ale
Oskar Blues Old Chub Scotch Ale
Since this Colorado brewery distributes their product in cans, the first of the sixer was consumed straight from the aluminum. No comments on color (brown?). Flavor? Scent? Significant malt. Caramel flavor. Smooth, creamy texture. Strong finish sans aftertaste. Bourbouny fragrance. Power-packed, but easy to drink.

King of the Case: Great Divide Brewing Company

Great Divide Brewing Company
Claymore Scotch Ale
Features a very smoky flavor. It's a little bitter with coffee notes, leaning toward the taste of a porter, but not quite getting there (thankfully, as I don't prefer porters). While it's described as a "Wee Heavy" on the bottle, it does not feel exceptionally weighty. Also, it is somewhat layered, with the power of the beer coming more on the finish than on the front end. A very interesting offering.

BEER - Sam Adams Scotch Ale

My friends gave me a Sam Adam's variety pack a couple of weeks ago and I am heartbroken to report that there is only one left, BUT I think I saved the best for last. Scotch Ale provides a medium brown color with a little bit of a malty after taste that precedes a somewhat smoky scent. If you are a fan of a hint of bite at first taste followed by a smooth body then you will enjoy. Hooray for being done this skew of beer? I hope so, for the sake of Magic Hat Spring Mix...more details to come.
