This is part of a beer club. Had only one bottle but was decent for the price. Poured great and had a nice finish. Would do again.

Scottish Ale?? Not bad, but not Scottish. Quite sweet and reminds me of Bavarian doppel since the malt is heavly, but not nearly like a Scottish Ale. Good, but clearly using additives to get the taste instead of the process.

12 oz bottle. Pours a clear reddish amber body under a nice foamy one finger off-white head. Some light lacing remained. Aroma is a combo of sweet toasted and caramel malts and a slight graininess. A little honey and a touch of alcohol. Flavor is quite sweet up front with toasted and crystal malt as the base. A little honey on the very lightly bitter finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a slightly chewy doughy maltiness and moderate soft carbonation. A little lingering stickiness. Overall, nothing exciting, but quite drinlable.

Bottle. Darkly malty aroma with a dash of honey. Light floral bouquet. Darkish amber-brown body with medium carbonation and a lacing, rocky beige head. Taste is dark and malty, lightly bitter with slightly smoky, almost peaty notes and faint dehydrating hop action swirling from front to back. Dry with herbal highlights. Medium body and a very dry aftertaste. Not so bad.

Reddish amber hue, transparent pour. Nose of iron, cranberry and fruit snacks, with mineral notes being most dominant. A light flavor of strawberry and grape sweetness slowly shifts into a grainy, earthy cashew territory. Reserved, not necessarily weak. A watery palate clumsily kills the possibility of an interesting experience here. Quick finish. Could have been better. Thanks Adam!

It poured brown and clear with no head. It was slightly sweet at first sip, perhaps the honey strikes first. The hops then came in but the effect was unbalanced. I was left with a metallic aftertaste.

12oz bottle labeled bottled on 11/16/06. Poured a medium and clear copperish color with a larger sized off white head. Aromas of caramel, honey, and all around fruity. Tastes of caramel, fruity, and had almost a sourish/bitter finish. Thin body that was bordering on watery. Some lacing left on the glass.
