Bottle at The Rhino. Ruby-brown colour with a decent mocha head. Interesting aroma - quite sweet, with a hint of apple. Flavour has lots of sweet caramel, more of the apple suggested by the aroma, some smokiness as it warms, and a hint of booze in the finish. Pretty nice stuff.

I really liked this Scotch Ale. It had a nice dark brown appearance to it and it formed a nice dark head. Also has a nice strong finish to it that kept me wanting more. Overall a very nice beer.

I tried my first scotch ale recently upon the recommendation of a good freind. I was skeptical, but found this to be an outstanding and suprisingly strong ale. I look forward to trying other scotch ale labels for comparison!

Tastes like molasses. Almost no flavors of alcohol, taste is deep and malty, but not much else going on. A bit too sweet and thin, but none the less, a decent beer.

Yeah, it’s too sweet. Sure it is watery. It sure is an easy way to get tipsy though. Goes down pretty easy for 8%abv.

Very good beer,Medium bodied, Malty and pretty sweet , lots of caramel and molasses, some liqueur flavor, very light roastiness, some chocolaty notes, delicate bitterness lingers through. Great beer for the winter.

12 oz. Bottle. Pours a clear tawny red with an off white head and some lacing.
There is some roast and sweet malt in the nose with a slight hint of sourness.
The flavor is of sweet malt at first and thin goes into a dry roast like bite.
The texture is creamy but not as much as I remembered. In fact it is a little thin in body for a 8% beer which is a little scary.
Overall it is a nice beer that I will drink again but I’m not going to seek it out.
