dmac (1420), Toms River, New Jersey, USA Dec 11, 2007 750 ml bottle. Pours a murky muddy brown with visible carbonation running up the side of my Duvel tulip and an above average size frothy bubbly off white head. Yeasty aroma with notes of bread and raisin. Medium bodied with average carbonation and a dry bread like feel on the palate but the alcohol is hidden nicely. Flavor of yeast, bread and slight vinous notes on the back of the throat. Not really sure why this is a Scotch Ale other then becaue it’s called Mc, actually as a Scotch Ale it should be Mac Chouffe!! rowefam3 (70), kendallville, Indiana, USA Dec 10, 2007 Updated: Dec 19, 2007This seems a little overated. The best thing about this particular brew is the smell. Nice resiny odor. Not sweet enough, so the alcohol comes thru too much. The body is light. Texture is thin. Lively carbonation. Astringent finish. HermanW (619), Coevorden, Netherlands Dec 9, 2007 Gekocht in de Ardennen. Een gewoon bruin bier geen alcohol smaak. tomer (365), Rishon Le Zion, Israel Dec 8, 2007 0.75L bottle. Murky brown with orange taints. Complex aroma featuring strong malt and yeast accompanied by peach, apricot, banana, Vanila and some roasted coffee as the beer warms up. After this, the taste is a crushing dissapointment. The alcohol is cloying and completly overpowers anything else leaving nothing else but a some sweetness. When the effect of the alcohol wears off, leaving a pleasant sweet and sour sensation. Quack-Duck (3129), Bodensee/Schwarzwald, Germany Dec 5, 2007 dark brwon colour, large tan head. Aroma of chocolate, caramel and dried fruit. Chocolatey flavour with dried fruit (prunes, raisins). Slightly yeasty, slightly sweet with a warming touch of alcohol. norsedoc (162), USA Dec 2, 2007 Pours dark brown with creamy head. Smells of toffee and raisin. Taste is sweet with caramel and banana. Hint of sour fruit at the end. jujubeast6000 (772), Houston, Texas, USA Nov 28, 2007 (bottle): Pours a very dark color, Big tan head, very quickly diminishing. Dusty, musky aroma, dark fruit. Alcoholy. Dark fruit taste, some musk, some alcohol. Strongish alcoholy taste. Kinda flat. kevin62 (267), New Jersey, USA Nov 11, 2007 Had on draft-poured into a Chimay Goblet to a dark amber color.Hints of cocoa,malt and light chocolate.I liked this one.
