Pours mahogany into a thistle. Beige micro head with excellent retention leaves sheet lacing as it recedes to coat surface. Unpleasant sour/bitter earth aromas. Bitter and nasty chocolate with a sour lasting finish. uh, uh - drainpour.

Bottle, 8.0%. Peppery and yeasty aroma. Clear and beautiful very dark brown colour. Small frothy light brown head. Creamy and vinous flavour, good alcohol level. Some vanilla. Nice and sweet with warming alcohol, I like it.

I remember having this a long time ago and hating it so trying it again wasn’t high on my priority list. Glad I did though. This beer is super smooth, malty and a little sweet. Pours a nice brown color with a bit of off-white head. Aroma is caramel and sweet malt. Flavor is really bold but also smooth. Good beer.

Smells of Coca-cola. Very creamy and sweet.I was afraid it was going to be watered down, but it is pretty bold.

Excellent. Sweet malt and caramel on the nose, and even sweeter in flavor. Hops are barely detectable. Robust and watery at the same time, which doesn’t make any sense, and there’s a nice alcohol burn going down. Very nice.

Poured dark amber with a creamy beige head. raosted Malty-carmel flavor - creamy chewy mouthfeel- Nice brew but not great. Aftertaste reminded me more of flat coke than a good brew. Scotch Ale must not be my cup of tea.
