Aug 12, 2004 Ruby spalshed amber with a tall rocky tanned head. Aroma is malty with some hints of spice and hops mixed with faint smoke. Taste is mildly malted with more light spice and smoke. Light fruit notes show through at times but recede as the smoke comes through. Palate is moderate with mild carbonation and smoke. Finish is sweet with mild smoke and more fruit notes coming out.

Aug 8, 2004 Honey coloured body with an off-white medium sized head. Malt aroma of caramel as well as a touch of peat. Flavour was smooth and medium bodied with the malt characteristics coming through, also some smoke and dried fruit. Not a full blown scottish ale but very drinkable.

Aug 5, 2004 This pours a deep amber color with a small sized yet long lasting head. Lots of lacing left on the glass. Aroma is fresh apple cider and iced tea. The taste is a watered down cider. Has notes of lemon and iced tea. The smoky moss is noticed at teh end of each drink. Just a little thin for my tastes.

Aug 4, 2004 Amber body with mild carbonation and a fleeting head. Aroma of overtoasted Scottish malts, prunes, and allspice. Flavor is malty, smoky, and pruny with a sour quality. Strong iced tea note. Mouthfeel is watery and chalky. I generally like Scotch ales but I don’t particularly care for this.

Jul 31, 2004 Another Belhaven entry I approached with much hope only to be sorely disappointed. That this beer seems to be getting Belhaven’s emphasis in the US market and taking up shelf space that could be occupied by their far superior Scottish Ale and Wee Heavy is simply a tragedy.
