Oct 13, 2008 Pours reddish Dark with very little head that dissapears quickly, taste is a fruity sweet malt, the label mentions butterscotch but I cannot seem to taste it. Very good Scotch Ale.

Oct 3, 2008 Pours dark brown with virtually no head. Initial aroma is that of unpasteurized fresh cider then some tiny hints of campfire smokyness, reminds me of a crisp autumn night (edit. That was before even reading the Com. Desc.!). Flavor is quite earthy, malty yet dry. I prefer a bit more sweetness in my Scotch ales. Flavor kind of falls flat after the aroma.

Sep 30, 2008 I don’t think this is a BAD beer but I didn’t care much for it. I liked the initial flavor but something (scotch) was killing this for me. I think I will stick to the FFF if I find I need a fix of Scotch/Scottish Ale.

Sep 28, 2008 Pours a very dark brown with some ruby highlights Little to no head on the pour. Smell is caramelized malts and a bit boozy. Taste is more of the malts, a good amount of mustiness and a bit of alcohol/band aid showing up as well. Medium and nice mouthfeel. Another good offering from Dark Horse.

Sep 16, 2008 Brown pour into my gordon highland glass. Small tan head. Aroma is very nice. Some hints of honey, liqueur, caramel, stone fruit and I also get hints of maple syrup. Flavor is a bit high on the alcohol, but is wonderfully sweet and complex. I get syrupy notes, caramel, dried dark fruit and there is just a hint of bitterness to balance. Slow sipper.

Sep 2, 2008 12 oz. bottle from mibirder! Thank you Sean! Pours a ruddy chocolate brown with almost no head. Not much to look at. Complex aroma with caramel, earthy and fruity notes. Taste is caramel, toffee, and an earthy woodiness. Some subtle fruity notes, mostly berry and raisin, with a very subtle hop bitterness in the very end of the finish. Medium bodied. Very nice.
