| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Oct 18, 2008 Autumn colored beer with a large, frothy head. Aroma mainly dominated by contamination, or you could say unpleasant smells not common in scotch ales. No rich malts, mainly just wild yeast and funk in the nose. Flavor is sour, clearly contaminated and not right. Remember having this several years ago and it was great, but this bottle has some serious issues. Papsoe (14996), Frederiksberg, Denmark
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 24, 2008 (Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of Skyview. Pours a very cloudy reddish brown with a tall and frothy beige head leaving some laces. Aroma of caramel and fruit - light lingering tartness. Medium-bodied with sweetish burned caramel, lightly tart fruit and a whiff of ashes. Fairly dry finish. I suspect a light infection here, but it’s not spoiling the beer completely. 180808 Walt (2289), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 22, 2008 Pour is dark ruby brown with a thin sticky light brown head...smell is toasty and quite sweet at first almonds, molasses, caramel, and hints of smoke...taste is is sweet as well with lots of candy coated nuts...like those sugar coated almonds actually...terrific mouthfeel...smokey almond flavors dominate all the way through this thing...some alcohol too...nice. phishpond417 (1946), Madison, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Sep 14, 2008 I got a sixer of this at home thanks to my good pal Brandon: Pours a dark muddy brown colour with a fairly large tan head. Lacing left behind is sticky and hardens quick. Taste is pleasent, hints of whisky, coffee, roasted malts and caramel. Aroma is pleaseant also, noticeable oak and whisky on the nose.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 11, 2008 Poured a lighter brown color with a small off white head. Aroma was really sweet, lots of roasted malts and a tiny hint of alcohol. Flavor was smooth and creamy, really roasted with a nice nutty/caramel flavor. Not quite sure of the ABV on this, but its extremely drinkable. Strykzone (1475), Wood River, Illinois, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Aug 24, 2008 A tribute to Scotty? Looks like a cola with some cherry red. No head. Malty aroma with a hint of whiskey and plums. Tastes like milk mixed with coffee. Malts are exceedingly roasted and there is some smoke in there. Acidic. The brewer tried to do too much here and almost made it. joergen (8597), Frederiksberg, Denmark

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 19, 2008 12 fl oz bottle. Pours unclear and deep brown with a slowly collapsing tan head. Lacto/milky and mild roasted malt to chocolate malty aroma. Mild lacto and chocolate malty flavour, goes nicely together. Light liqourice. Smooth acidic and malty finish with a liqourice lingering note. Nice one although I don’t think it was intended this way.
