Bottled. Plum, raisin and light lactic aroma. Brown color, beige head, good lace. Light sweet, licorice, plum, dark malts. Sparkling and warming. Very nice beer I could easily drink all night and sleep like a baby.

Cloudy, amber/brown. Nice head and lace. Aroma of yeas, bready malt, citric hops, flowers and more. Yeasty on the palate along with cola, bread,citric and peppery notes, hops and spices come out towards the end. Slightly acidic/sour and well balanced. Easy to drink with a hell of a kick, alcohol is masterfully hidden. Needs more body and I feel the malts werent as assertive as they should have been. Its good but nothing to scream and shout about. I will give it another shot after I leave a bottle to sit for awhile.

Dark brown color,tall tan head,seems highly carbonated.Fruity aroma with hints of alcohol and hops,and mild malt.The taste was quite good malty well carbonated and fruity with a mild spice to it.This doesn't seem much like a scottish ale with this much carbonation and it doesn't have the body to fit the style IMO,but still its a fine brew and the price is right for the size bottle it comes in.

Definite fruity flavor. A bit sweet for my taste, but not all together bad.

Great foamy head. Chocolate brown. Spicy, peppery. Noticeable alcohol taste, not a problem. Molasses and fruity malt, hops are gentle. I love dAchouffe and their line of friendly, sweet, clean, spicy and complex beers. This one fits right in. I need to try aging some of this.

Dark tawny brown beer with an off-white tannish head that has nice retention. Aroma has rich caramel malts with earthy yeast and toffee. There also seems to be a bit of spice in the background. Mouthfeel is just a bit over medium with carbonation that is between fizzy and frothy. Taste is split between Scotch ale and Belgium strong, but lean a bit more towards the scotch side. Taste has lots of toffee and caramel richness with some dark fruits hanging around. Finish has spice and earthiness. Overall a very nice beer to be savored.

Bottled. Ruby colour, lively head. Funky grapefruit mingle with toffee and yeast in the nose. The sweetness is balanced by a rich, but not overly heavy maltiness. There are notes of honey, oak and caramel. The finish is mild with just some grassy bitterness. A malt accented and discretely complex beer. Very pleasant, but not fantastic.

This is an interesting artisnal ale that really has a lot of depth to it. There are notes of vanilla, pepper, corriander and a sweet musty flavor from the yeast. It masks its alcohol content really well and provides a nice finish after swallowing. Should be drunk with a large mouthed glass to really experience the aroma and lace.
