Mar 22, 2005 This was sampled from a bomber bottle I brought back from AK. Deep brownish amber color with a large, foamy tan head that subsided to a strong bead around the edge of the glass. Very inviting nose of red wine and alcohol. I would not have been able to pick this as a scottish ale. Lots of fruitiness up front with apples and cherries with some sweet chocolate in the finish. Very easy drinking beer and very enjoyable for a style I tend not to like very much.

Sep 7, 2004 Purchased at the brewery in Anchorage. Deep, dark ruby red appearance with a very thick, creamy, toffee colored head. Aroma is at first phenolic, but when you really concentrate it is pleasantly sweet like extra sweet cookie dough with some liquor soaked dates. Flavor is very sweet and malty with some candy sweetness and some molasses in the back end. Very creamy mouthfeel. Would make a good winter warmer in the long Alaskan winter.

Sep 19, 2003 Big beige head atop a dark amber body. Aroma is sweet, earthy, light caramel, a wee bit mediciny. Taste is medium sweet, caramel, bready, slightly earthy, hint of peat. Finish is stronger peat, but aftertaste is minimal. Medium body, lightly sticky.

Oct 20, 2002 Very red, almost amber. Smells sweet, good body. I can’t believe only 2 other people have rated this. A dominating Scottish Ale, brings back memories of the Big Bossman’s dominance during 80’s WWF.

Oct 13, 2002 Poured with a monster head. A sweet aroma doesn’t tip you to the bready flavor that comes along. A meal in a glass. Good.

May 14, 2002 Head is initially small, fizzy, off-white, fully diminishing. Body is
medium reddish-brown. Aroma is lightly malty (caramel, toasted light
bread), with a light note of toffee. Flavor is moderately sweet,
moderately bitter, lightly acidic. Finish is moderately bitter,
moderately acidic. Medium to full body, creamy texture, lively
carbonation. The aroma is pretty light and simple in my sample, but
still pleasant. It’s rather sour, but balanced well otherwise.
