Jun 3, 2008 On tap at D’s in Monroeville. Pours a deep red / amber with a thick eggshell colored head. The aroma is malty raspberries and brown sugar. The flavor is a solid caramel malt with a bit of bitter spice to it. A little bit of an oaky roasted characteristic. Very Scotch. A really smooth silky mouthfeel. Not too heavy and pretty well balanced.

Jun 1, 2008 Pours out a thick, dark brown, with a well formed head. Aroma is very sweet with some carmel undertones. Flavor is very malty with some sweetness, and a big hoppy finish with some alcohol bitterness to it. Would definitely recommend.

May 21, 2008 Overall a nice brew, a little sharp tasting but not something you wouldn’t love to drink by itself. Sweet on the aftertaste; this is different for the usual scotch ale, but it’s definitely sweet and enjoyable Definitely one of my favorites to just enjoy after a meal. I can’t recommend on a "light" day, but when enjoyed as a "real beer", it’s something to reach for.

May 12, 2008 Poured from tap an orange-brown with small beige head. Aroma is dominated by malt, nuts and grain. Flavor is sweet roasted grain, caramel, malt and a light nuttiness. Palate runs from light malt sweet and becomes a bit watery at the finish. I would drink this one again. It is balanced more to the sweet side than I prefer however.
