WeeHeavySD (1841), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA Oct 6, 2008 Bomber that I believe I bought on Mt. Desert a few years back. Pours blackish brown with a tan head. Nose is lightly malty. Taste is sweet, malty with hints of caramel. Can’t tell that heather is there. This is decent, but not amazing. DrDavid (325), Johnson, Vermont, USA Sep 28, 2008 (Bottle). Mild, semi-sweet aroma of malt and caramel. Dark reddish brown color, with moderate light tan head. Flavor is well-balanced, with restrained sweetness, fruits, some caramel. Malty, quite astringent finish. Not bad. BelgianBeerGal (974), Sabbatical in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Sep 26, 2008 Bottle in Bar Harbor. Have not tried many Scotch ales but I could honestly taste the heather sweetness in this offering. Very easy drinking overall and well done. Angeloregon (2000), Portland, Oregon, USA Sep 2, 2008 Poured a deep dark brown body with minimal off-white head. Smoked peatiness, caramel, and pine in the nose. Interesting heather brew. Light crackly body with mild caramel and heather-sweet finish. dangelicom1 (17), Shelton, Connecticut, USA Aug 25, 2008 great beer, you can really taste the heather. it is well hopped but not overwhelming. i brought back a few 22oz bottles for a rainy day. cant wait
