Looks big and thick like Guinness, massive head and cascading. Deep, dark red. A feint head remains. Big swath of milky lace. Aroma is a smooth, sweet Scottish ale smell. No bite, not harsh. Taste is sweet with some chocolate. Has an alcohol presence but it is subtle. It’s a mild Scottish ale, easy to drink.

Bottle: The aroma consists of caramel, chocolate, light fruit, and faint smoke. It pours a transparent copper with a small off white head. The flavor starts caramel and some light chocolate in the background. The finish has some light fruit and a hint of smoke. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. I would say its got a sticky mouthfeel, but the lively carbonation keeps it from being sticky.

ne of my favorites. Gets better as it warms, which is good because it’s 6.5 ABV and comes is a large bottle.

A very nice Scotch Ale. Pours a dark reddish/brown, lightly carbonated, rich malty aroma. Has that unique scotch ale taste with the malt, earthy, and light molasis flavors. Very smooth and balnaced. The light bitterness which is well matched to sweetness of the beer. Overall a beer I would pick up any time I was in the mood for a scotch ale.

si presenta con un bellissimo colore rubino,accompagnata da una bella testa di bianchissima schiuma compatta e persistente! risulta molto corposa, e dopo il primo sorso, che risulta equilibratamente amarognolo,riempie il palato con un bellissimo retrogusto dolciastro con qualche punta di caramello! veramente una buona birra!

Bottle. This bottle always caught my eye but this was the first time I bought it. Pours a clear almost flat looking ruby red body with a pathetic bubbly quick head. Spicy, light fruits, alcohol and caramel, wine? aroma. Nice balance of malt and sweet caramel. Good oily medium MF. Very drinkable beer.

One of the best Scottish ales I’ve had yet, and I do like Scottish ales. This pours with an off-white head, not too foamy, and a lovely dark brown colour. Aroma and taste reveal the malt.
