| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 26, 2008 A- Now this is a nice looking beer. Burgundy in color with an ample tan head which sticks around for quite a while.
S- Smell is fairly faint, raisins, yeasty notes.
T- Taste leans toward very dark fruits, raisins, figs, with a very creamy sweet flavor. Almost like a watered down quad but not is a bad way.
M- A little light on the carbonation, medium viscosity.
D- At first I thought this one would easily be a sessionable beer but after a while there is a sticky sweetness that gets left behind in your mouth. Good drinkability in general though, I would have it again. Tweety (343), Vancouver, Washington, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 25, 2008 Draught at Jacob Wirth’s. Pours a very dark brown, much darker that I’d expect from a Scotch Ale. The taste and aroma are sweet and malty, almost sticky, it coats the mouth and lingers. Rather enjoyable.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 20, 2008 Dåse. Flot mørkebrun øl med et pænt skum. Nødde-sherry aroma der virkelig er dejlig. SMagen er meget sød men igen med en nøddeagtig karakter der virkelig gør det til en fornøjelse. Tyk og cremet i munden. Fantastisk øl. SuperDave70 (1157), Beautiful Sunny Mesa, Arizona, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 19, 2008 Pours a clear deep amber brown with a nice foamy tan head. Aroma of roasted malts and semi-sweet chocolate. Nice flavor, caramel sweetness with coffee bitterness and a smoky finish. Better than most anything in a can! DocHop (278), Baltimore, Maryland, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 17, 2008 Pours a very dark brown, rust color with a small, frothy tan head. Very malty aroma, both sweet and roasted with a little bit of coffee. Very creamy body. Flavor is a little light, mainly coffee with a little smoky wood flavor. The finish has a slightly oily feel somewhat reminiscent of scotch. Speedle (262), Mid-Atlantic (Tour 2007-2008), Virginia, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 17, 2008 big yeast and bread aroma right after the pour ... yeasty aroma stays with the beer ... roasted malt taste ... watered down scotch whiskey without the alcohol ... so far I’m not a huge fan of this style; but this is the best so far ...... I’ll go back to it eventually Vas19 (299), Maryland, USA
