| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 18, 2005 the only scotch ale I’ve had, so I’ve got nothing similar to base this off... sweet to start with a piney close. A nice deep red color, too. An unassuming and delicious ale. tbarnette (105), Allen Park, Michigan, USA

Pours hazy deep ruby thorugh light (dark brown via ambient light), with medium off-white head and visible hop floaties. Aroma of malt, chocoff, hops. Tastes malty, with a chocoff element, plus some finishing hops. Complex taste, with a mdeium palate. Notable smoothness and balance. Very good. BCAR (216), Naperville, Illinois, USA

One dimensional malt flavor without the sweetness that the style usually has. Thin and watery ale. Kinka blah. Styles (1653), Lincoln Park, Michigan, USA
