Jun 7, 2007 Dark, dark red. Huge malty nose and flavor. Not a hop flavor or bitterness to be had. Hints of caramel, raisin, plum. Not my personal favorite style but I’d got to respect it.

Jun 4, 2007 From bottle at Red House in Renton, Wa. Didn’t do a full judging on this one, but was impressed with the complexity. Lighter than many scottish ales you might commercially find, both in color and body, but full of flavor, in particular a very wide variety of sweet notes, dominated by caramel, fruit esters, and some citrus hop flavor. Hoard to drink too quickly; a beer I’d like to age to get some of the flavors to congeal a bit more, but terribly interesting.

Jun 1, 2007 Bottle. Red brown colour with an average lasting white head. Fruity aroma of hops and sweet toasted malts. Bit sweet flavour, roastness of malts, fruits (raisins) and good bitterness in the end. Average dry bitter aftertaste. Great brew!

May 30, 2007 Has a nice, ample brownish head which diminishes fast. The aroma is definitely that of a scottish ale, with a nice sweet maltiness to it. The flavor is also dominated by the malt, as one would expect.

May 26, 2007 ggbbbbbbGood appearance, nice beige head that dissipates into a light film. Not much lacing. Aroma was there, but weak. Notes of spice, sugar, caramel and light cocoa & cinnamon. ooo,,,’’p//////////p ’’’/pppoo//

May 18, 2007 Clean, caramel malt aroma, but a light aroma. Dark brown amber color with an off-white head that is substantial and convincingly laces. Medium mouthfeel. Clean malt start. It is simply malt; caramel rather than harshly toasted. The finish brings a sudden, slight, burst of sweetness, and when that melts away the result is relatively dry, but not bitter. There are a number of distracting flavor notes, but, although the mix is attractive, none rise to the fore. Heck of a nice sipper.
