Jul 8, 2008 Bottle. Pours a brown-amber with white lacing. Sweet aroma of malt, hops, some caramel. Taste is both sweet and sharp, of hops, and then changes to a combination of sweet and bitter. Mild lingering bitterness. Tasty.

Jul 5, 2008 Draft. Pours a deep copper with little head. Aroma of roasty malts and a touch of sweetness. Flavor is rich on the malt side, with lots of toasty grains; hops take a back seat. Finishes caramely sweet. Pretty tasty.

Jun 20, 2008 Pours a beautiful rich copper with a substantial tan head that subsides fairly quickly. Medium lacing. Nose is malt with a hint of vanilla. Taste is crisp malt with a great hops blend. Mouthfeel is nice and the aftertaste is bright and fresh.

Jun 18, 2008 Certainly plenty of malt to go around in both aroma and flavor — as a Scottish style ale should have. Mostly sweet with fruit notes. Then there are the hops, present in both aroma and flavor and especially in the noticably bitter bite in the aftertaste. A good, flavorful brew with a nice balance between malt and hop, but I am not sure this is true to the style, though I would not hesitate to drink another.

Jun 14, 2008 12oz bottle -pours a rich tan head that laces and copper color. Aroma is nice medium malt-caramel, citrus/earthy hops. Taste is medium malt-caramel, almost as much hops-earthy/leafy, nutty, roasty, later some citrus. Not quite balanced and a bit thin compared to aroma. OK carbonation. Thanks to chesky-SD via Joe-jwc215 for the trade.

Jun 8, 2008 Draft: Dark golden colored pour with little to no head. Hoppy, caramely aroma with sweet, malty, slightly bitter finish. I also liked this.

Jun 8, 2008 As amber ales go, this beer has a stronger hop profile which is probably why I like it more that most. *cough* fattire *cough*

Jun 5, 2008 90 shilling is somewhat surprising. When you smell it, it smells malty, like you would expect from the style. When you drink it however, there is a distinct hop character, not aroma, character. It has a copper color, with a nice tan head. It is very drinkable and I really enjoyed the hops.
