Oct 26, 2009 I’m sorry but this is an almost perfect beer. I’m a fan of the boiler maker. Scotch beer. has that flavor without the bite. This beer is like a dark beer with a brown sugar overtone. Sweet enjoyable smooth. Not harsh in anyway.

Oct 23, 2009 Don’t let the can fool you. This is a solid Scottish ale. Smokey taste, with a medium mouthfeel. 8% abv gives a nice warm finish without being overpowering. Very drinkable.

Oct 20, 2009 Draft from Village Beer Merchant. Pours a ruby-brown color, like a coca-cola. Decent white-tan head full of big bubbles that disappeared for the most part, but left some lace until I finished it. Aroma: Sweet roasted malts, cocoa, wood, hint of flowers, bit of fruitiness resembling cherry or even grape, alcohol aroma.
Mouthfeel: Not too heavy-bodied for an 8% scotch ale. Good carbonation.
Flavor: Not far off from the aroma. Tastes a bit more like a whiskey than it smells....with a touch of woodsy smoke and rich malty sweetness that hides the alcohol fairly well.
Overall: Decent malty scotch style ale. I’ve had better tasting ones for the style, but not out of a can! Warning: It’s been shown that darker beers contribute to hangovers more than lighter ones. This one is no exception. It is easy to drink for a fairly strong beer...which sometimes leads to overindulgence and a subsequent headache..

Oct 16, 2009 One of those I’ve had a ton of times, just never rated. Pours a dark brownish ruby color with a beige fluffy head. Aroma is caramel, pancakes, maple, cherry, and a hint of coffee. Flavor is caramel up front, cherry, butterscotch, smoke, and a slight alcohol bite. Quite delicious. Creamy mouthfeel.

Oct 14, 2009 From a can...so I can’t describe color or smell cause I just smell metal. The taste is amazing though, sweet and hoppy. Wow. I am thoroughly impressed...I just wish there was less of an aluminum taste. Damn cans. I would love to have this on tap or something but I’m still rating very high.

Oct 14, 2009 Pours out a nice dark brown with a toffee colored head. Slightly sweet aroma, smelling of toast. Nice semi-thick body. A toasty and slightly chocolate finish.

Oct 11, 2009 Cask @ Chelsea’s Brewing Co. in NYC this past weekend. I wasn’t personally a huge fan of this ale, and I have to admit it is 100% due to the scotch bourbon flavor that dominates everything else. 8% abv - tastes more like 28%.
