Nov 22, 2009 On tap at the CBC. Deep amber color with a foamy beige head. Nose of lightly toasted grains with some campfire. Medium body. Tea, burnt toast, smoked grains, brown sugar, and an almost berry sweetness. Long toasted grain finish. Enjoyable beer for a style that I usually don’t prefer.

Aug 20, 2009 12oz from BeerVirgin72 - thanks, Dawn! Bright amber pour with a moderate head. Very intense caramel notes in the nose, which tapers off to be a bit one-dimensional (even if that single dimension is enticing). Slightly thin mouthfeel and lively carbonation, but the flavor is really quite nice. Soft and bready, with a hint of smoke to balance the sweet flavors.

Jul 18, 2009 Bottle. Pours a cloudy dark brown with a tan head. Aroma is quite sweet and malty. Flavor is a delicious blend of malts and a slightly bitter finish. Very nice.

Jul 6, 2009 Had this at Surly Girl while attending the Doo Dah parade in downtown Columbus. Seems like this is the week of the Scottish Ale in my life, and they’ve been pretty good to me.
This beer came served with a cloudy clay-colored body with good head formation. Aroma was a bit earthy and a touch smokey; not out of sorts for a Scottish Ale. Flavor was more of the same; maybe with a bit more maltiness. Mouthfeel was a touch watery.
Judging from the ratings on the site, this beer travels well...not sure why given its relatively moderate rating...interesting.
Not a superlative beer, but definitely a pleasant one. Sort of an unconventional pairing, but I had it with some Frito pie, and it stood up quite well to the spiciness in the chili. I enjoyed it and would recommend it.

Jun 26, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear dark brownish-red with a white ring. Sweet aroma of toasted malt, sugar, vanilla. Taste of sweet malt and sugar, with a bit of sharper smoky toast and hops. Lingering light smoky-sweet malt that finishes a bit watery. Pretty good.

Jun 1, 2009 bottle thanks to nrbw23. Thanks! Pours orange and hazy with a ridiculously overcarbonated, large head. Definitely infected or somehow messed up. Smell is sweet, every so slightly peaty and caramel. Taste is tart, sour, and obviously infected. Definitely a bad bottle. Oh well...
