Jul 3, 2008 Pours cola brown with tan head. Aromas of caramel and chocolate. Flavors of sweet roasted malts with a touch of coffee and alcohol. Sticky yet creamy mouthfeel makes this very nice going down. Medium/full body with slight carbonation. Another great beer from Oskar Blues.

Jul 3, 2008 From a can. Don’t see many cans so almost passed on this one. But it was good. Poured red brown with tan head and good lacing. Nose of roasted malts and some hops. Rich smooth mouthfeel. Flavor tends toward caramel malts and there is a dry smoky finish. Good stuff

Jul 3, 2008 Poured caramel brown from the can. All my friends said it was the darkest beer they have ever seen come out of a can (at which point I told them about ten fidy). Nose is caramel and a hint of smoke. Taste is big rich caramel, nuttiness, sweet malt, distant balancing bittering hops, and more smoke and peat. Pretty rich and pretty sweet. But hey, its a scottish ale, so what can you expect.

Jul 2, 2008 Sample at Pizza Port Solana Beach. Pours a mostly clear dark reddish-brown color with a medium thin and foamy beige head that dissipates slowly. Small patches of lacing. Aroma of malt and molasses, along with a touch of hops. Rich body with a sweet character of malt, caramel and molasses that is spiked with a decent amount of hops. The finish is roasted malt with a lingering sweetness left over. Pretty enjoyable all around.

Jun 28, 2008 The beer pours a dark reddish brown. With liitle head. It smells like burned brown sugar. Tasts like it smells. Way too malty for my taste. My goodness it needs some more hops to balnce the heavy malty syrupy taste. Hooo Weeee! I wouldn’t be able to finish the hole sixer. Real syrupy. It sticks in your mouth and makes me want some water.
