| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 5, 2006 Pours a dark muddy copperish color. Smells sweet, and fruity mostly dried fruits. Taste is complex the sweet side of it has raison, pruns, and caramel. The sour side has plums, malt and yeast. Nicely carbonated and pours out very thick. Alcohol is present in the smell but not the taste as much. JMFG (1514), Florida, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 2, 2006 Poured a very dark caramel color with thin dark tan head. Aroma was of brown sugar and some alcohol, but was strong for a Scotch ale. Taste had a sharp sweetness to begin, and a slight bitter finish that lingered. Palate was silky. A very interesting brew. henrikb (1305), Aarhus, Denmark
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 29, 2006 Brown body with a red edge, light brown head; Very special nose, it is both deep and complex, but not overwhelming, lots of dried fruit aromas: raisin, fig, prune but in plastic kind of way; The body is softly textured, with a small amount of fine carbonation, it is both a little sweet and salty, and has a pleasant bitterness and a good balance; Finishes long with alcohol showing to much, bitter, lots of dried fruit fig and a very little licorice. Strange and very enjoyable beer. Thanks radiomgb! aracauna (2391), Georgia, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 9, 2006 This is a lot more alcoholic than I was expecting. It pours a dark, dark ruby with a good khaki head. The aroma is big fig fruit and alcohol. The caramel and old fruit flavor is backed up by alcoholic heat in the back.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 9, 2006 Dark clear brown ale with a thick moka head. Sweet caramel and peat aroma with notes of figs and molasses. In mouth, a sweet caramel with warming alcohol, figs and prunes. Nice treacle sweetness. Rich and smooth.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 3, 2006 Thanks HogTownHarry. The beer pours to a dark garnet colored body with a thin tan head. The aroma is chocolatey, peaty, dark sugars, thistles. The flavor is chocolatey, lightly peaty, malty. The palate is rich, creamy, smooth. Earthy. Nice to see a company produce a homebrewer’s recipe.

a dark brown to black pour w/ hints of ruby highlights. Aroma of carmel malts, molasses, alcohol, carmelized sugars, touch of brown grass... Palate is full and well coated lightly creamy. Flavor is definatelly not what I’d associate w/ a scotch ale. Full roasty malt heavy carmel and maple syrup notes w/ even some touches of overripe plum & other dk fruits. Pretty good beer.
