May 15, 2008 (Canned) Clear, very dark red with a small, lacy head. Caramely-malty aroma with somewhat burned feel. Very smooth, lightly burned flavor with some starchy-grainy feel. Medium-bodied with medium carbonation. A decent scotch ale, but nothing very special.

May 15, 2008 Dark mahogany, almost an opaque dark brown. Small cream colored head leaves small clumps of lace.
Sweet and roasty malts. Roasted barley, caramel, toffee, brown sugar, molasses, fig, apricot and hints of banana and apples.
Sweet toffee and caramel malt flavors predominate, but are pretty balanced by a dry roastiness and mild hop presence. Some banana and buttery diacetyl notes.
Soft carbonation, medium bodied, not quite full to be rated higher. Drinks okay, if you’re in the mood for sweet and buttery caramalt pie.

May 14, 2008 12oz can, Courtesy of DeuceDeuceOU, taste is what wins this for me, straight from the fridge the beer is smooth and flavorful, then after it warms a bit out comes tons of carmel flavor with some subtle malt...Very good and no hint of 8% neither.

May 13, 2008 Updated: May 14, 200812oz can. Pours a thin brown into a dark brown in the glass. Has a thin tan head which dissipated quickly. Smell is caramel malt. Taste is of caramel and malt as well. Mouthfeel is medium-to-thin with slight alcohol noticeable. Was not a bad scottish ale.

May 13, 2008 Can from Julio’s Liqour in Mass. Pours with a deep reddish-brown body topped by a thin, off-white head with little lacing. It’s slightly sweet and malty with a prominent peat note and an underlying roastiness that really shows through in the finish. Medium bodied, a bit tingly and slightly warming.

May 12, 2008 Nice malty/chocolaty aroma, pours a dark brown with redish tints if hel up to a light. Very nice malt flavor with a hint of chocolate and only slight roastiness, leaves a lingering smoky taste. More medium bodied than full, but overall an excellent beer for the malt lovers.

May 11, 2008 This ale pours a deep, almost opaque chocolaty brown with a thick, fine-bubbled, persistent ecru head. Rich aroma is like smoky coffee, what I call "stouty." Flavor has coffee and chocolate tones, and a fair amount of smokiness. Texture is jazzy and edgy.

May 11, 2008 Better roughly poured with a little lacing and a nice dark color with lots of character. Light aromas are caramel-like malts and chocolate. Full-flavored malty scothch ale has a creamy palate and a long finish of chocolate, hazelnut and caramel. Little hopping, but nice balance and flavors.
