Dec 26, 2008 Pretty watered down and dissapointingly thin for the style. Some roasted grain, light toffee, and the faintest hint of smoke. Very light touch of tartness in the finish, which I did not enjoy. Not very true-to-style, but decent enough.

Oct 26, 2008 Sampled from 12-oz bottle during Surly D-Day. Pours a semi-clear copper amber brew with a thin off-white head that quickly dissipates to a thin white ring. Aroma of caramel malt, some smoked wood and a touch of toffee. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonated with a mild toffee, caramel and a touch of chocolate. Finish has a mild malty aftertaste of toffee and chocolate. An interesting Scottish ale.

Apr 1, 2007 Nice drinkable beer, somewhat thin but I like that too many Scottish ales try to be Porters and sometimes I don’t want to drink my lunch but still desire a roasted flavor...overall very enjoyable!

Jul 24, 2006 Updated: Jul 28, 2006On Tap @ The Brewhouse, Helena: Slighty smokey aroma with some toffee, smokey and vaguely chocolatey flavors; somewhat thin, not too sweet and a little tart. A little strange, but good enough.

May 7, 2006 Described as being robust, this comes across as a rather thin entry in the style. Looks fine, a deep brown with reddish highlights and a slender tan head. The aroma contains roasted malts, toffee, and a trace of smoke. Medium-to-light bodied, it’s got a toasty malt taste, a hint of chocolate, and an out-of-place vinegary finish. Drinkable if it’s what’s on hand. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Plainfield, IL<font size=-1>
