Mar 10, 2009 Can of course! Lacy head that was nice and sticky. Dark reddish copper color with a nose of skittles or starburst or a little of both. taste was almost as sweet as the nose but also had a little hop tingle and malt backbone needed to sustain the other sweetness. No hint of 8% alc, and an overall solid beer. Too sweet for my likings though.

Mar 9, 2009 Thick, brown pour with a short-lived beige head. Nose is sweet; reminiscent of brown sugar and fig newtons. Taste is malty but less sweet than the nose. I expected a big, chewey beer but this is surprisingly crisp and drinkable. Almost too drinkable for 8% ABV! I got a six-pack as a gift and thought I would like the Gordon better but no way. I really like this beer and would even say that it tastes just as good, if not better, right out of the can.

Mar 8, 2009 Location: 12 oz Can from Gilly’s 3/8/09.
Aroma: Sweet, malty, caramel, roasted, chocolate
Appearance: Dark brownish color, hint of red, very thin head, looks a little like a cherry coke
Flavor: Heavy flavor, lots of malt, sweetness, some alcohol taste, bitter, smoky finish
Palate: Full body, dryish finish
Overall Impression:
An Interesting beer for sure. The Scottish Ale on the label seems like a misprint, seems like a Scotch Ale to me. Overall though, its an enjoyable beer, nice to pour a beer out of a can and see a dark color, thats always a rarity. I like the complexity and difference that it offers.

Mar 8, 2009 This pours a nice cloudy brown color with a light tan head. Aroma is of caramel, roasted malts, hints of chocolate as well. Flavor is silky smooth, caramel and a nuice malt sweetness, with a subtle bitter roastedness and chocolate in the swallow. Really smooth and good stuff especially for the style.
