Oct 30, 2007 A Mes rate: Bottle at Chris O’s Fukito tasting.
Semi translucent red borwn with a slim off white head. Sweet fruity malt aroma with some alcohol, lots of berries and some slight soap. More sweet malt in the flavour, lots of yeast and some spice. Quite dry which is a little unexpected. Some slight smoky notes. Just really doesn’t work for me.

Jul 28, 2005 Dark garnet to deep brown. Slight beige head. All about malt in the nose, oily nuts and marrying chocolate, almost vanilla-ish in its sweetness with the balancing earthiness, but lacking smokiness. More alcohol presence than expected that lingers alonga sourish nutskin/roasted malts dryness. Not much of a scotch ale ultimately, it has the adequate prune-like fruitiness, but the malt ain’t that complex.

Dec 3, 2003 Sparkling clear, cherry wood-colored ale with a medium-sized, creamy, beige head. Good retention and great lacework.
The aroma is very malty with notes of butterscotch, caramel, toffee and alcohol. Very light notes of chocolate and cola in the nose as well.
Well-hopped for a Scottish ale. Great balance. Some caramel and whiskey blasts in the flavor, followed by some tawny port notes. Medium-bodied with an oily mouthfeel and lively carbonation.
Short, bitter, fairly dry finish. Excellent Scotch ale!
