<b>Appearance:</b> Deep amber, thin beige head, solid lace, rich malt aroma and dry carmel malt flavor, just enough hops to keep it in balance and from showing any sweetness, a lot of peat shows up in the finish after just a bit of warming, the carmel starts coming throuqh at the end of the second pint.<br />
<b>Overall:</b> The first runnings of the mash was boiled with brown sugar to create a carmelized sugar character.<br />

Apr 25, 2006 Pours a clear copper amber with a thin ring of white head. Nice, sweet toasty caramel and mild peat aroma. Starts semi-sweet, lightly earthy and caramel malty with good authenticity and viscosity. An enjoyable Scotch ale.

Apr 5, 2006 Draft @ the downtown location. Poured a clear dark golden amber color. The aroma was sweet and fruity. A little grapey. Malty caramel flavor with notes of cola and fruity. Actually reminds me of a Dr. Pepper. Medium bodied.

Mar 10, 2006 Neutral aroma and slighty dark appearance. Lacey. Sour off-taste dominated over any maltiness,if peaty and smokey then just too old, not finishable.

Apr 29, 2004 It started as thin and did not make up from there. I want that heavy and thick malt flavor in a scotch ale and this was just a little short
