Sep 10, 2007 500ml Bottle: Pours a clear dark red copper with a off-white to tan thin head,
faint aroma of yeast, old wood-dirt-earthy fragrance, an aged aroma,
faint caramel and malt sweetness, faint wiskey wood fragrance (not a wiskey alcohol aroma),
taste of malt, some sweetness and caramel, light to medium carbonation,
mouth feel is a little thin but I do not believe this style is suppose to have thick mouth feel,
some creaminess that ends quickely with hop bite arriving on the scene,
has a small bite in the finish and finishes pretty dry, lots of flavor for a ale
with 3.9 alcohol.

Sep 10, 2007 500ml bottle - labelled 80/- Export Ale.Copper coloured with an off-white head; apple aroma; big malty flavours, quite warming, developing a nutty finish. Well balanced and full of flavour despite the low ABV.

Sep 2, 2007 Updated: Jun 2, 2008One of the nicest toasted malts ever, just a hint of sweetness and very pleasant. Not overly hoppy but with the otherwise nice taste, it’s alright. Wish it was just a bit thicker for the style - even if the taste is big, the mouth feel isn’t.
Can sometimes sit on the shelf as being expensive and not the most popular - have gotten a bad bottle now and then.

Sep 1, 2007 This was disappointing for a Scottish ale. It was weak and thin-bodied. There was just a slight malt flavoring that was hard to taste past the alcohol.

Aug 24, 2007 Draught can. Milk caramel aroma. 1/2 inch thick dense head over toffee colored ale. Subtly sweet flavor and nothing stands out. Foam clings to the side of the glass and looks much better than it tastes.

Aug 18, 2007 Bottle. Crisp amber color, decent head. Smells malty sweet. Bitterish taste, but clean finish. Flavor is nice. Drinkable but not my first choice.
