Oct 18, 2005 Tan like a Killians, not what you would expect from a scottish ale. Very smooth with a little bite at the end. Noticeable toasted malts fo a light coffee over tones. Not a typical scottish ale, but still noteworthy.

Aug 28, 2005 (Draft: Liberator Brewing in Troutdale, OR) Very light for a Scottish Ale, this is a pretty tame interpretation of the style. Lightly malty, hinting of gentle roast, and mildly bitter, this really doesn’t come close to a Scottish Ale, at least not the type I like. Could be an amber or light brown ale to most people. Mildly malty and toasty nose, but lacking in overall aromatics. Light-to-medium bodied, way too thin for the style it claims to be. Off-white head fades to a ring and leaves no lace on the glass. Boring and thin on body and flavor, move on.

Aug 14, 2004 Weird 3-tierd body during the pour. Clear, dark brown changes to fluffy dark tan changes to a clean, white head. Harsh but uncarbonated, it seems, flat, sour, lactic... a little bite in the finish, with some maple, nuts and corn.

Jul 20, 2004 Tap. Neat three-layer pour that cools cool. Reddish-brown; little discernerable aroma except for some maltiness. Some nice woody sweetness in the end makes this very pleasant to drink. Smooth, not much of an alcohol taste.
