Funknmilla (577), Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 16, 2008 12 oz can...deep brown-dark tan head...rich smoky sweet scents---a malty peaty scotch-like essence...smooth body..for a can, wow never would suspect it once it is in the glass...it has similar flavors to the aroma...its quite good...i enjoy a bit of peatiness to my brew...there is also a bit of chocolate...a damn good scotch ale, and especially a canned one---even a lacing that looks like drippy dots glennmastrange (805), hobe sound, Florida, USA Jul 15, 2008 Can. Heavy malt aromas of roasted, molasses, and mild coffee, moderate hops and yeast of resin and earth, with notes of raisin, toffee, and vanilla. Head is large, creamy, off-white, with fair lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is dark brown. Flavor is moderately sweet and lightly acidic to start and finishes moderately sweet and lightly bitter. Palate is medium, between watery and almost syrupy and has a lively carbonation. A deep maltiness and well rounded flavors makes this one of the best Scotch Ales I’ve tried. trokini (1027), San Diego, California, USA Jul 14, 2008 Tap @ Pizza Port SB. Pours murky brown with a short off-white head. Peat, molasses, leather, and smoke in the nose. Rich caramel taste with nuts, followed by the peat/smoke and a bitter finish. Kind of chewy ending. Good stuff. MaltDawg (778), Richmond, Virginia, USA Jul 13, 2008 Aroma of chocolate and roast malts with some coffee and peat notes. Dark amber brown with small creamy tan head. Grassy hop flavor then roasty malts with some smoke and peat with a touch of alchohol warming in the finish. Moderate bitterness. Medium very creamy mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. papajohn (1054), San Diego (Mira Mesa), California, USA Jul 5, 2008 Updated: Jul 13, 200812 oz can from Pizza Port bottle shop Carlsbad: Deep burgandy color with a small, fading tan head. Aroma is sweet chocolate and caramel. Flavor starts rich and malty with caramel, a nutty note, a little raisin, a hint of smoke and a light bitterness in the finish. Medium body is creamy with soft carbonation. Haslinger (640), Syracuse, New York, USA Jul 4, 2008 Can, totally surprised by this one. Got the 6 pack for free and assumed it would be something cheap. Loads of malt aroma. Great malt chocolate taste. Incredible. Caramel and its creamy mouthfeel make you feel like you’re drinking a beer milkshake. Great Bungalo22 (326), Bridgeport, Connecticut, USA Jul 3, 2008 Pours from the can - go figure - a dark brown with a nice head that reduces but remains for the entire experience. the lacing on the sides of the glass is perfect. A thick scotch ale that feels like it is textured on your tongue. Strong flavor of toffee and roasted malts. An excellent, excellent scotch ale. JonR888710 (999), Cochabamba, Bolivia Jul 3, 2008 Pours a dark brown with a white head. Smells sweet, chocolate, coffee and bourbon. Taste is silky smooth, with tobacco, smoked peat, chocolate, coffee, and the alcohol tastes like a scotch ending. Very smooth and dark. My only two faults are that I wish it didn’t smell like a porter and that the head was larger/lacing present. Pretty good though.
