| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 12, 2009 On tap at Austin Saucer on July 11, 2009. Impressive silky white head... almost unreal. Reddish-brown color. Crazy thick lacing. A nicely malty brew with a bitter flavor and a hint of moss. Delectable! JohnnyJ (1350), Carlsbad, California, USA

Brown with small head. Aroma of roasts. Flavor is malt, dryness and ripe fruit notes. Gypsy19 (648), California, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Jun 29, 2009 Pours a deep amber with a large, fluffy head that recedes slowly. Aroma is of molasses, maple, a little nutty. Flavor is of chestnuts, a little brown sugar, and lemon. Cardboard too. Mouthfeel is full, with nice carbonation throughout. Overall, good minus. noompa (130), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jun 23, 2009 12 oz. bottle (2009) in a shaker; pretty straightforward bitter. Pours a nutty brown/amber w/ nutty and malty aromas; flavor is standard for an English bitter (sorry if that is unhelpful); lacks too much sophistication, but would make for a great session brew; wait for this one to warm up a bit. gaffandbleed (12), California, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 18, 2009 slick feel, lively carbonation, earthy smell and taste, tan head, sparkling brown ale.
Good taste. Not too complex. No lingering after taste. Not great but better than average. ogivlado (3088), Zagreb, Croatia
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 16, 2009 Bottled(355ml). -Darker amber coloured, small off-white head, dusty light grainy nose. Low carbonation. Toasted malt, caramel and slight grainy with notes of spices and fruits. Dry nutty finish. Doggythedog (1591), Split, Croatia
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Jun 14, 2009 Bottled both as 80/- and Scottish Ale (argh) at the Kaledonia in Budapest. Poured a lovely dark alber/coppery body with a persistant small thick white head. Light, subtle grainy malty notes, noted orange (80) and grass (SA) as well. Light, subtle earthy maltiness, grainy, sweetish, with a persistant bitterish aftertaste and even a touch of acidity (80). Clean and drinkable but lacking. Might be overrating it a little.
