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.

Mar 6, 2009 Enjoyed via 12oz can. Pours a nice medium brown color with a slight tan head. Nose is one of crystal and perhaps a small amount of chocolate malt. Sweet and malty on the palate, with a finish that, while sweet, is far from cloying, and that allows the beer to remain highly drinkable. An excellent interpretation of the style.

Feb 28, 2009 Can. Pours dark amber in color with a foamy white head. The aroma is heavy on molasses and ripe, dried fruits. The flavor is very malty with notes of caramel, cocoa, and some what of a hoppy crispness. It finishes with a alcoholic punch and a cloying sweetness.

Feb 27, 2009 Can. Pours a dark amber, almost brown color with minimal head, white and frothy. Aromas of chocolate, roasted malts, and molasses. Initial taste is oily and then it finishes with a creamy, sticky feel. Tastes of chocolate and then finishes with a malty taste. Very good beer!

Feb 27, 2009 Can. Pours a dark brown, almost black, with ruby highlights, with a small light beige head. Smoke, chocolate, caramel, toasted malt, malt, more malt, and a little bit of alcohol. Medium bodied and sweet. Ends in an almost smoky malt flavor, with piles of interplay on the gums.
