11 oz pour @ Taco Mac, East West Connector, Austell, GA, USA.
Firstly, $6.25 for the pour!! Discussed here;

Pour is an amber color with some nice clarity, good head and some nice lace. Looks tidy in the glass.
Nose gives a few notes of toffee and caramel and the tastes reflect that. The beer has a few nutty elements and is obviously and definitely malt based, but as for being a Scotch Ale I just don’t get it! If you are looking for some of those classic notes, then I think you will be horribly disappointed. If you are looking for a nice, simple, wintertime beer with some good levels of malt and a generally, sweet, malt based taste profile then you may well enjoy this beer. Don’t look for classic Scotch Ale notes.
The price is a whole other issue, and this may be a Taco Mac problem rather than a Bell’s problem, but at $9+ a pint this is one of the worst value drinks I recall EVERY buying.
