Red, nice looking, standard irish, malty, doughy aroma, sweet palate, good session stuff.
Had this in Myrtle Beach, SC.

Aug 30, 2008 Good for an amber ale, but otherwise nothing stands out. Well balanced malt and hop flavor. Lightly sweet malt taste with some hops in the finish. Strong caramel malt aroma with a touch of hops. Very drinkable.

Aug 28, 2008 Bottle. Poured a dark amber with a two finger tan head. Aroma of sweet malt, yeast and caramel. Flavor is same, with a bitter hop finish. Decent.

Aug 25, 2008 Lovely copper with a short, firm copper head and better-than-avergae lacing. Metallic, yeasty nose loaded with hot grass clippings and artificial chocolate flavoring. Flavor matches the aroma... extremely dank-tasting; caramel malts are evident. Buttery full palate bordering on greasy and chalky. Muddy aftertaste. I’ve had this beer many times over the last decade or so, draft and bottle, and it has always tasted the same. The only Highland beer I actively dislike.

Aug 16, 2008 Updated: Aug 17, 2008Tap. Dark amber with tan head. Smells freaking great and taste even better. More than makes up for the oatmeal stout that I thought was inadequate. This is very good beer.

Aug 9, 2008 Bottle from Suttree. Thanks!
Pours a dense amber with and off-white head and thick, intricate lacing. Smells of bready red wine. Flavor is a slight floral hops punch followed by a swif kick of roasted nut biscuit. Surprisingly full and lasting mouthfeel. Nice lil’ ale here.
