Jul 22, 2009 A good scottish ale that is made better with the maple. It isn’t the strongest flavor but blends well to create a nice maple toffee that lingers on the tongue.

Jul 20, 2009 11.5 oz bottle, label states that it has 9.5% ALC/VOL. Color is a hazy brown with a touch of amber. Carbonating is very good with a thick tight off white head that clings to the sides my glass with beautiful lacing. Aroma is a sweet maple scent with yeast and alcohol showing. Taste is clean, smooth and a little sweet. Starting with a medium body it goes down easy with a smooth clean feel. Finish is just amazing with dried fruit flavors coming out and a nice Belgian yeast taste then a gentle maple and I think a little orange drifts by near the end. After taste is a little more citrus with the Belgian flavors riding along for a bit and the alcohol showing to cap things off. Holy crap this is a good brew, one of the best Scotch Ales I have ever, and the best brew with Maple I know of. It’s big and complex yet easy to drink and comes off clean. The Sky God put heaven in a bottle.

Jul 14, 2009 Pours clear bronze with a small rocky tan head. The aroma has very toasted malt with some medicinal and mineral traits, alcohol heat and some sweetness along with a touch of maple syrup. Medium / thick smooth body with light carbonation. The flavor starts off sweeter and maltier than the aroma with the mineral / medicinal traits still there, but not as forceful. There is thick rich toasted malt and maple underlying. The finish has more maple and more alcohol. This is okay, but not really worth the price.

Jul 11, 2009 Bottle. Decent beer, not really my thing though. Dark amber pour, off-white head. Caramel, sweet malt, banana, maple syrup, caramelized sugars, and some dark fruit notes. A little earthy. To sweet for me.
