| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 10, 2005 I guess I’m biased because they brew this stuff down the street. It’s much better on tap, and if you live in AZ it’s almost impossible to go to a bar and not see Kiltlifter on tap. Sweet, malty, and I’ve seen "smokey" used in some of the ratings and since that’s as close as I can pin point it we’ll go with that. Great for those nights you feel like getting laced by something that tastes decent. jewedekind (450), Middleton, Wisconsin, USA

AWESOME lacing! sweet, peaty, malty aroma. flavors are sweet, balanced and overall, just easy drinking. A good representation of the style. Pigfoot (2226), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 5, 2004 Appearance: a clear, deep amber hue, and an impressively thick, full, creamy head. Aroma: much on the mild side, and shy to offer itself up, but we do perceive bits of nuts, toffee, cocoa, soft spices, herbs.
On the palate, a nice malty-sweet flavor at first. Body is medium, texture is good, hops are very light, if attending this function at all. There’s a slight smokey feel, if I’m not imagining it, with lush taste of caramel and such behind. Body feels too thin, though, and those promising flavors soon fade out. Easy to drink, but not much to admire, I’m sorry.
