Apr 24, 2005 Draft... This beer rocks!... Crystal clear, copper ale with a small, creamy, off-white head. The aroma & flavor are vineous, chocolatey and earthy (peat). Good balance. Medium to full-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Dry, grassy finish. Excellent Scottish ale.

Mar 25, 2005 Sorry but I don’t see what these other raters found so appealing in this beer, especially with so many other great Scottish Ales out there. Clear amber with a brownish head. Aromas of roasted malt, sweet fruit, touches of smoke, and alcohol. Flavor consisted of hops, pineapple, grapes, some sweetness. Overall a weak tasting beer with nothing standing out, and kind of getting washed right out of the mouth.

Sep 7, 2004 Amber in color witha a tan/off white head. A sweet berry aroma with hints of alcohol. A honey taste with a bit of a bitter hint. There was also some liquor-like notes. Very taste and easy to drink, almost too easy.

Apr 5, 2004 Smoky, peppery nose and flavor. Maltiness comes out under the smoked flavor. Unique beer.

Mar 20, 2004 Hand-pull at the brewery. Wonderful toffee notes and deep rich mahogany malt tones. Big body with some hop dressing ... maybe a little too much really for a scotch ale. Nice peppery yeastiness, a well done scotch ale made better from the cask.

Nov 25, 2003 Tap at dragonmead. Pours a dark brown but quite clear. Small oatmeal colored head that dissipates rapidly. Smells faintly of medium dark fruit, some caramel/roasted malt and a bit of salt. Begins very mild, lightly sweet and quite watery. Has a salty-sweet body with a tad bit of fuggles hops on the finish. Light bodied, low carbonation. Somewhat flowery. Not a whole lot going on. Smooth.
