Dakota Smith's Oriental Adventures, Part 5: The Valley that Time Forgot

[Mad Lord Snapcase]

Mike,

Your games are so atmospheric. Those pictures at the start of this thread to whet our appetites and then such a great story on your blog, I really wanted to be there playing that game!

The game was a blast, though Joel will probably claim that was due to the supply of Scotch Ale I laid in for the night's game.

I have no idea what Scotch Ale is but it does indeed look like a blast! The scenery is also superb and I particularly like this shot of the " long, steamy mountain valley that the archaeologists had to cross." This is what I mean by atmospheric!

I have no idea what Scotch Ale is...

Once you have a drop of the wee heavy, there's no goin' back.  
Seriously good beer on a par with the finest dark brews of Vienna and München.

Amen, brother! Served that night were:


Old Chubb Scotch Ale 8% alcohol


Floyd's Folly Scottish Ale 8% alcohol


Twisted Kilt Scotch Ale 5.3% alcohol


Jackie O's Brewery Matriarch Triple IPA 11% alcohol
(on draft growler)

Normally, I don't hammer them with such heavy ales, but hey! It was to celebrate my first week of summer break from school...!

That is some strong beer! The first two look quite dark, are they what I would call stout?

This is the one I'm drinking at the moment but it's not as strong as your Scotch Ale.

[Mr. Peabody]

Scotch Ale can never be a Stout, Porter, Bitter, Mild, nor can it be any variety of Lager... Scotch Ale is Scotch Ale.
