JaBier (1130), Capital City, Ohio, USA Jun 15, 2009 Sample at the Alehouse. Pours cloudy amber with a thin off-white head. Malty and boozy aroma of brandy, cherries and caramel. Caramel malt flavor with cherry and a boozy finish. Awesome scotch ale. Birdiebeagle (778), Perkasie, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 26, 2009 On cask @ Barleys Pours a light amber with a decent white head. Has a good malty aroma of caramel sweetness. Has a good mouthfeel. The blend was good and the alcohol was hidden well. Has a full body. This one had a good finish and a good aftertaste. I haven’t had a lot of cask but this was a good one to have, full flavored and darn right good. Might not be for everyone but I loved it. DragonStout (1380), Pataskala, Ohio, USA Sep 10, 2008 On cask at the Alehouse.Poured a dark amber with no head.The nose was caramel sweet as was the flavor.There was also some slight hop presence.This finished bitter sweet estoppel (1028), Buffalo, New York, USA Jul 31, 2008 Draft at brewpub. Light amber body, malty nose, small white head. Very sweet start, cloying, honeyed notes, not smoky, finishes with bready malts. Sammy (3934), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jun 18, 2008 Of a series of Scotch ales. This wee eavy is lighter, carmel, peat, orange colour and some lace. Some carmel and peat in there. A hint of the orange taste. I liked this because of the peatiness. Rogueone (506), I F&ckin’ hate those guys from, Ohio, USA Jun 5, 2008 Sample @ the brewpub (No. 1): Pours a caramel brown with thin head. Aroma is toasted caramel malts and alcohol. Akin to their scottish ale, this is like adding half as many more malts, a tinge more sugar, and a lot more alcohol. Just mildly bitter. AleDude (23), USA Apr 13, 2008 A powerful scotch ale with a deep copper color and thin head. It has a medium body and a slight sweetness that helps fight off a strong alcohol taste. A good beer -- I get it whenever it is available. DrHomolka (726), Columbus, Ohio, USA Mar 27, 2008 On cask at the Alehouse. Pours a deep cloudy ruby color with a nice compact foamy white head on top. Super malty aroma. Deep, thick barley, sweet caramel. Just like their other Scotch ale this smells like sticking your face in a mash tun. Taste is smooth, thick, with sweet, bready malts, low bitterness, full bodied though drinkable. The cask does nice things to this beer. A very good beer. Barley’s really knows how to do Scottish/British styles well.
