Mar 28, 2003 A dark nutbrown beer with a fine but fast diappearing lightbrown head. The aroma is very sweet with no complexity. The flavor is malty sweet with notes of roasted malt but no bitterness. It is very strong and very sweet for a Schottish ale. Too sweet and simple for me.

Jun 16, 2005 Updated: Oct 23, 2005(Bottle 33 cl) Version found in Sweden. Very dark brown, sweet and very malty. Lovely full body. A beer for long winter nights. 260801
(Bottle 25 cl) Version for John Martin in Belgium at 7,2% ABV. Pitch black stout-like appearance, brownish head. Very roasted - almost burned - malt. Sweet with a licorice-like sharp finish. Very full-bodied, but far from as refined as Belgian strong, dark ales. 6/3/5/3/12=2,9 311097

Jun 24, 2002 Dark amber. Thick, rich and malty and flavourful strong Scottish ale. Perhaps not the most complex example of the style.

Jan 20, 2002 I guess this one got aliased backwards. D’oh! Anyway, I gave up on this stuff years ago but decided to re-visit it, just for Gusler. It starts off right - dark chestnut colour, richly malty aroma with peat, treacle, plums....but then it falls apart. The palate is overly sweet, one-dimensional, clearly too much corn used in this one, and then it gets watery. Watery palates and unbalanced sugariness just don’t work for me. Sorry, Gus, it’s just not for me.
