Light in color, despite the name. Mellow fruity hops and mildly bitter, clean finish. Average at best.

Didn’t think this was actually all that dark, and it had a rather creamy taste. The alcohol isn’t all that well-hidden.

Bigger body than some Scots. Very fresh, and an oh so typical alcohol warming, but slightly more subtle than in others. In fact, everything here, the maltiness up front, the alcohol, is kinda mellow. The only thing more I can say regarding the refreshing authenticity of this ale is ’Aye, Captain, we need more dilithium crystals...’

Not as dark in flavor as the name implies. Very mellow, with less malt than common for a Scottish ale. Subdued, fruity hops. Mildly bitter finish, but otherwise clean.
