Feb 22, 2009 poured dark and cloudy brown with a mild head. Aroma of malt and scotch. Taste is yeasty malty scotch - not as strong as most Scotch Ale’s that have had and this is a plus

Feb 16, 2009 11.2 oz. bottle. Fresh, yeasty, musty, wine-like smell. Plum and a touch of barnyard in the aroma. Pours an effervescent, brassy brown. Cloudy but mostly translucent. Short-lasting, fizzy, beige head. Brownie and chocolate candy flavors. Toasted malt finish. Light taste; not very substantive. Light body. Soft, lively, and frothy in the palate. Easy to drink. Does not stand out.

Feb 15, 2009 Gorgeous, rich ruby color highlighting the copious yeasties floating in the glass Adorned with a poofy head fed by the rapidly rising carbonation bubbles. Aroma characterized by mustyness, and European hops with a somewhat soapy quality; Despite the prevalence of yeast, this tastes malty like a Scottish ale with a dusted malt-ball quality. Deeply malty. Intriguing synthesis of Belgian and Scottish qualities. Yeast is pretty tame, but perhaps a hint of Belgian characer and a soupcon of peat.

Feb 4, 2009 750ml bottle at La Trappe in SF. Hell of a Scotch (Belgian) Ale. Dark brown color, beige head. Yeasty and malty aroma. Caramel, toffee, and candi sugar flavors typical of a Belgian ale with the maltiness you look for in a Scotch ale. Smooth, tasty, and very drinkable.
