Mar 13, 2006 Updated: Jun 26, 2006This is the forth offering I have had from Barley Island and I must say really enjoyed this beer. Color wa dark amber with a off-white head. Aroma was that of carmel and fruit. This was a very smooth beer with no overpowering flavor. Very smooth, flavorful and easy to drink.

Aug 6, 2004 Bourbon-aged; cask-conditioned: Coppery ruby. Broken, loose-bubbled light tan head. Bourbon, peach, and earthy peat aroma. Hints of toffee malt, medicine, fig, and candied apples. Lifeless, watery body. Devoid of carbonation. Bland mixture of sweet malts doused with medicine. Faint whiskey tannins firm up the body, but render the medicinal sweetness intolerable. Ends astringently and medicinal with powdery pale malt whispers. Peachy esters linger alongside tight earthy hop bitterness. This is on the right path, but they really need to learn how to serve Real Ale.

Jan 16, 2004 From a sampler: This brew is a rich copper color with a thin off-white head. Fair lacing. Big malt aroma promises this to be a flavorful beer. Medium-bodied, with a sweet caramel malt flavor that is not as pronounced as expected. The beer seems to be relatively low ABV, and the finish lacks the punch I was hoping for. This brew has potential, but I think they need to toss a few more shillings into the pot.

Aug 17, 2003 This brew poured a large head of fine to medium sized off white mostly lasting bubbles that left a fair lacing and a uncarbonated hazy light brown colored body behind. It had a medium strength malt hop aroma and a smooth thin malt flavor in a somewhat thin mouthfeel.

Aug 3, 2003 One of my favorite styles of beer; however, I was disappointed with this particular one as it was too mild for a Scottish Ale in my opinion.It poured a large tan head with small bubbles.The body was cloudy with no carbonation observed.The hue was orange and the lacing was fair.The flavor was mildly malty and the mouthfeel was thin and smooth.

Jul 16, 2003 very mediocre. lacking the butterscotch essence promised by the label. i don't think the scotch would be too fond of naming this beer after them...
