Sep 6, 2008 Poured from 75cl bottle at Alesmith dinner. Once again, I don’t have much experience with scotch ales but this was fantastic. Based on my experience I can’t really comment on how true to type it was but I really liked it. Yummy!

Sep 2, 2008 From bottle poured a deep dark brown body with a wispy tan head. Nutty, sweet, chewy aroma of dark fruits, premier grains, and caramel. Great thick, rich mouthfeel. Finished with appropriate spiciness and a thick rich coat on the tongue.

Aug 31, 2008 Pours a dark brown with thin tan head. Nice aroma of caramel malt, nuts, and some dark fruit. Very good flavor, with the malt really dominating. Very smooth and I thought it did a good job hiding the 10%. Very sweet. Nicely done by AleSmith.

Aug 22, 2008 POured a dark brown color with an off white headf. Aroma is very malty, some caramel, and a hint of alcohol. Flavor is really smooth for a scotch ale, lots of sweet malts, dark fruits, caramel and a hint of chocolate. Only complaint is that it does not hide the alcohol very well.
