Feb 9, 2006 Delicious beer sampled on draught at the brewpub, on a cold winter’s night. A very warm, and soothing pint. This beer pours to a deep amber, to light brown color, with a thick, white head, and a soft carbonation. Lots of good sweet malt and caramel in the nose, with hints of peppery alcohol. The palate is rich and full. Good, hefty, body with good sweet and caramel malt, with a touch of estery fruit. This beer ends malty and sweet, and finishes with a nice, soothing burn. Nice after dinner pint, and a great beer to sip with a good desert. Impressive beer.

Dec 28, 2005 See through brown with a touch of amber to it, fluffy white head pretty thin. Great malty flavor with some sweetness of caramel and maybe a little nutty also, pretty roasty, there was an alcohol touch to it as well that left me saying damn this beer kicks ass, and it is now 8.3%

Feb 13, 2009 growler from miketd:
pours a nice nutty brown colour with a good 1/2 inch tan head that resides on the sides of the sides of the glass. lots of nutty aroma and great bread too, decent caramel and just a hint of fruity hops and smokiness. a very nice blend of all th components i mentioned. the flavour is alot of bread and nut teh hops come through at the end with a good fruitiness to follow that. the caramel is sweet but not cloying. palate is smooth. another great beer from Gl. thanks a ton mike for letting me try this one. i owe you!

Dec 20, 2006 On tap at the brewpub. Pours a dark amber, medium white head. Aroma is very malty with caramel. Full palate, taste starts off sweet with caramel, and finishes with a slight burn, finish is fairly dry. Good, but not the best of the style.

Oct 20, 2003 Smooth caramel, medium roasty flavors that kind of took the place of any hop presence. Nice smooth and thick body. One of the more enjoyable Scottish ales that I've tried.

Jan 31, 2003 I just had this on tap. Great stuff! Smooth caramel like flavor. A great beer to drink slowly and appreciate its rich flavor.

Feb 6, 2009 On tap at the brewpub. Pours a dark copper with very little head. Aroma is biscuit, caramel and some subtle fruit. Flavor is very malty, but has some nice hops in the finish. Not bad, but not great.
