Feb 23, 2009 Pours out brown with a sturdy tan head. Very smooth flavor of caramel and chocolate with a smokiness to the flavor as well. Smell is just about the same. No hop presence to speak of and a too heavy for me mouthfeel, but still a very solid beer and I enjoyed the six pack I bought. Glad Oskar Blues is in Oregon now, bring on the Ten Fidy!

Feb 22, 2009 Dark Brown with thick tan head. Taste of chocolate, caramel, roasted, slight smokey taste come and go with each drink. This is thick rich and very satisfying on a cold night. I drank the entire six pack and felt really good. Took a bit to figure out why they don’t bottle this, but the back of the can said it all. "Pack it in, pack it out." The brewer must be big into the Leave No Trace movement and it is easier to find a aluminum recycler to buy a can than it is to find a glass recycler that is willing to buy a bottle. While a bottle normally beets aluminum for good beer storage I have to admire the brewers environmental stand.

Feb 21, 2009 Cloudy dark brown to black color. Very dark for a scottish style - more in the line of a stout. Flat looking, no carbonation and no head but thats mostly the style due to the high alcohol. A malty aroma full of wheat. A sweet overall smell without a hop comeback. Like the aroma, the flavor is sweet and unbalanced due to a lack of strong hops. Its actually a water like taste, its forgettable. Palate is light and soft, unusual for a scottish ale. I expected more bite in the palate and in the alcohol department.

Feb 21, 2009 Definite unique smoke flavor, heavy body, no noticeable alcohol overtone as I’ve often had with American made Scotch Ales. Probably the most enjoyable beer I’ve had in or out of a can.

Feb 17, 2009 12oz can. Another great offering from Oskar Blues. Pours a deep mahogany dark brown with nice ruby highlights. Minimal chocolate head. Smell is tons of chocolate and caramel and a slight dask of citrus. Taste is very rich with a huge heavy mouthfeel, a little to heavy perhaps. Chocolate and caramel malts take center stage with a nice bit of smokiness and a slight hop tang at the back. Slight metallic taste is the only thing that keeps this from being as good as the Belhaven Wee Heavy. Very taste and CHEAP.

Feb 16, 2009 Can, served at close to room temp.
Pours deep dark brown, almost black with tan head.
Aroma has plenty of dark fruits, caramel with a smoked wood nose.
Taste is amazing. Much enjoyable at room temp, than freshly out of fridge. Huge caramel malts mouthfeel with notes of chocolate. There is a sweet almost woody palate with a warming alcohol.
Very tasty all around, big emphasis on a chocolate / smokey finish.
