Jul 7, 2004 (on bottle) Too bad for this beer, I´ve had some better ones before that night. This brew has alot of scot in the nose, but the mouth is disapointing. It´s weak in turms of tar-, dirt- and heattastes and therefor the bitternes becomes too dominant. This brewhouse makes ´em so mush better.

Jul 7, 2004 Bottle. Amber color with a thick frothy off white head. Nose is thick and malty. First flavor notes that come out are caramel sweetness, tobacco leaf, tea, and hops. The finish has an awful taste that reminds me of the smell of an ashtray. The finish IS NOT pleasant. If they could get rid of that awful smokey/ash tray taste, this would be very good. But as is, it needs work.

Jul 6, 2004 Nothing great, nothing bad here. Kind of neat that it comes from the home of the game of golf, but besides that it’s not really all that special.

Jul 1, 2004 Updated: Apr 15, 2006Excellent companion for a day on the golf course or just a day on the couch watching it. (I especially like this one during the British Open.) Very drinkable and refreshing.

Jun 29, 2004 Malt and caramel combined with hops in aroma. Some bitterness in flavor. Lack of power.

Jun 24, 2004 Brown Coloring. No Head. Malt. Nutty. Not a bad beer....like watching grass grow at Andrews....not bad but gets boring after awhile.

Jun 13, 2004 Dark, coppery hue, thin head. Aroma: slightly metallic, coppery, some soft spices, a trifle sweet and buttery. Reminds me of Irish Red ales. Medium body. Not much fun for me here, as it lacks a lot of what I like: hops, flavor, body, bite, texture, aroma...that stuff.
Actually, I may have gotten an old 6-pack, since this was hidden away on a dusty shelf in a wine shop that does very little to sell their beer. Maybe a fresher bottle would change my opionion.

Jun 13, 2004 Second Belhaven tonight thank goodness for Liquid Solutions getting this stuff nowadays.
came in the 500ml old style brown bottle..with a pic of th "Old Course" with the famous stone brig.
Appearance is pretty nice..not as dark brown as the Scottish ale..more a burnt amber..good sized off white head..again excellent lace.
ZThe aroma though is rather subdued I pick very little up..some malts slight hint of peat but nowere as nice as the Scottish Ale.
The taste however is much better than the aroma, nice strong ,smooth malts to start then a touch of bitterness..followed by a rather surprising smoky aftertaste..quite complex.
Nice on the tongue, smooth and relaxed.
very drinkable..nice beer.
