Jan 9, 2002 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...’

Sep 17, 2001 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.

Oct 16, 2004 Cask Conditioned, at the Market Porter, Borough, London.
Tawny amber colour with a misty beige head. Sulphurous and sugar malt aroma. But this beer drinks surprisingly well. A solid bitter with a few variations to keep the crowds guessing.

Jun 19, 2002 Didn’t think this was actually all that dark, and it had a rather creamy taste. The alcohol isn’t all that well-hidden.

Nov 21, 2006 Cask at The Muckle Cross, Elgin, Scotland.
Dark amber almost brown in appearance. Has nice thick,creamy tan head.
Nothing much in the aroma department..some malts.
Creamy malty taste, slight hint of hops in the end.
Mouthfeel was smooth and nice because of it being in cask.
I suppose this is drinkable but a tad wearisome.
