| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 24, 2006 Bottle. Pours a nice amber with a nice white head. Roasted malt aroma is nice. Very tasty, but a little too smoky. A nice find at the beer store, but I won’t be buying this one again. mjg74 (1997), La Mesa, California, USA

Everything an english ale should have, except it is a bit watery in the aftertaste . Rune (2840), Tromsø, Norway
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 18, 2006 500ml bottle at Blå Rock Cafe in Tromsø. Deep amber colour. Small tan head. Slightly hoppy aroma. Carbonation is too much present. Medium caramel and honey in a rather straightforwardly flavour. ATOmemphis (200), Franklin, Tennessee, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 17, 2006 Dark golden, not quite amber in color. Creamy head, lingering. The smell has aspects of malt, and very slight hop. medium-light carbonation. smokey taste, it was surprising to me. good lacing. never saw the smoke/roast flavor coming. nice touch. Touche Kroger Grocery hellhole, this is a fine beer. yngwie (4974), Kristiansand, Norway
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Mar 16, 2006 Bottled. Clear, golden to copper beer with a medium, off-white head. Rich, malty aroma with some smokiness. Creamy mouthfeel and a malty, caramel flavor with too much smoke in it. Normally, smoke is ok, but this smoke feels like when you get out of bed the morning after a large party with lots of smokers present. Nice bitter finish.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 9, 2006 Pour is dark orange/amber. The head is a nice white lacing. Aroma is twangy with some smokiness. Not what I expected from an ESB at all. This is almost a scotch type ale? dwyerpg (2537), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 1, 2006 Smells quite nice - hops w/that creamy ale aroma. A lighter appearance at the bottom than the top, it doesn’t really have the creamy ale look or taste, just aroma. This is a bit heavy than it looks or you first taste, but certainly one of the best Scottish ales/ESBs I’ve ever had.
