| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 30, 2008 500ml Bottle - Copper brown in colour. A fruity and malty aroma with some raisins. Tangy, fruity and slightly sweet taste with malt and raisins along with some noticeable but fairly subtle hops with grapefruit notes. Not bad. austone (1039), Turku; Pori, Finland
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 26, 2008 Copper, quite thick pale head. Straight butterscotch nose, warm spiciness and wood. Flavor is woody, mildly smoky with warm caramel maltiness, little grassy hops and earth. Light to medium bodied, easy drinking palate. Very Scottish indeed, nicely warm and woody. darkguardian (506), Florida, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Jun 21, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a burnt amber with a long lasting creamy off white head. Nose is sweet malts with a bit of roast and a touch of smoke with some underlying fruitiness. Nice smelling scottish ale (btw if the bottle says its a scottish ale I have to question why its considered a ESB). Very similar to the Belhaven Scottish ale but not as dark and there is more fruit. The strong scottish malt flavor is there and definitely in the aftertaste but its not as bitter as the Scottish Ale either. Very good session scottish ale. Like this alot.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 8, 2008 Amber colour, medium off-white head. Aroma is of slightly roasted malts and bread. Flavour has some roasteld malts, and some grassy and flowery hops. Nice bitterness. Very enjoyable and drinkable. dyetube (409), Dallas, Texas, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 27, 2008 This beer pours a medium amber with a thin tan head. The aroma is sweet and almost fruity. The flavors are the same. Very unique for an esb. I like this one. Not that bad but not really the right flavor for an esb. Cheers! roder60 (1023), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 21, 2008 Poured a clear dark brown with bubbly white head. Very interesting mix of peat and caramel with a tad bit of earthy smooth hops at the end. From my experiences, a different take than most bitters. Very very good.
