Jan 19, 2007 Light brown with little head. Very strong caramel flavor. Smooth and sweet. While I am not a big fan of sweet beers, this was a favorite.

Jun 26, 2009 Growler courtesy of hopscotch. The pour is brown with copper edges and tan head. The aroma is modestly sweet and earthy creating a pleasing aromatic sensation. The taste has a nice malty goodness to start with a wedge of tin plated earthiness. It becomes somewhat caramel like midway while a note of malt roastiness joins in and takes this toward the finish. It ends with lingering malty sweetness and smooth earthiness.

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.

Jun 25, 2009 Growler… Clear, copper ale with a mid-sized, fat-bubbled, off-white head. Good retention. Malty, buttery aroma – also notes of vanilla and very light milk chocolate. Full-bodied and lightly creamy with mild carbonation. Sugary, but not cloyingly so. Caramel, vanilla and toffee sweetness; mineral bitterness. Lengthy, moderately sweet finish. Thanks to StFun for shipping the growler to me!

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.

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.

Apr 27, 2009 Draft at brewery. Red-brown color with virtually no head. Caramel and toasted, nutty aroma. Starts off quite malty and finishes with a very pleasant lingering caramel sweetness. Softly carbonated and a little thin compared to some other scotch ales but this is very drinkable.

Aug 14, 2006 On draught during my Great Lakes area brew tour. Mahogany pour with a mild white head. Malty aroma of oak, caramel, grapes. More vanilla sweetness is prevelant than a dense caramel which may be commonly found in this style. There are oak, cola, and sarsaparilla flavors here as well. No hop character to speak of. This finishes moderately sticky with a hint of cherries. I think this is a mild Scottish ale.
