mcjay (88), Neenah, Wisconsin, USA Aug 2, 2008 Updated: Sep 3, 2008Pours dark for a scotch ale, with a heavy roasted and malty flavor. Several malts were used and it really shows thanks to the lack of hops. A little sweet but still a good true scotch ale. C Dub does it again. MatSciGuy (261), St. Paul, Minnesota, USA Jul 14, 2008 [Bottle] Pours a clear mahogany with a good sized off white head. Aroma is malty and sweet with little hops. Flavor is slightly chalky and caramel. Medium mouthfeel. JK (2501), Twin Cities, Minnesota, USA Jun 22, 2008 No hops on this beer, appropriate for the style. Grain in the aroma and flavor. Some earth, grass, and dirt. Light brown color. Good, thich head. Bitter grain finish. A very dry beer. The earthy character is unusual and not bad, though not better than average. Thanks to Skyview for sharing. Guerde (491), Welcome, Minnesota, USA Jun 7, 2008 (growler from Skyview) Pours amber with a white head. Aroma is musty, with some caramel, light banana and cherry. It’s decent with some of the sweet smells there, but that prevading mustiness really detracts from the good things going on in there. Taste is sweet caramel with a lot of grain, mustiness, and somewhat of a metallic finish. badgerben (3160), Blaine, Minnesota, USA Jun 5, 2008 A growler courtesy of Skyview. Dark copper color with a medium head. Caramel aroma. Heavy grain flavor with a little sugar and caramel malt finish.
