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

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.

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.

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.
