Sep 11, 2009 12 oz. can poured into tumbler- poured a non transparent near black when held to a light source, medium carbonation, half finger off tan head formed, laced and shared a smoke with me. Aroma of a charred malt (but in a good way!), dark caramel, and magical beer goodness! Hits the mouth with high-wide body, malt steps on your feet, then socks you right in the mouth with a good solid hook, sweetness lingers in the background from the start, middle is solid, finish has some cream in the background, and lingers. Solid brew... and you should all know what is next for a comparison...

Sep 10, 2009 Dark coffee color, tan head, which starts off medium thick and thins quickly. Aroma of dark roasted malt, resins, and alcohol. Flavor is dominated by sweet malt, followed by roasted malt, and there is a chest and stomach warming alcohol. Great character overall to this beer - very enjoyable.

Sep 5, 2009 12 oz can from a in person trade with Madvike. I love good canned beer! Pours a deep dark redish brown. Sweet smell of toffee/caramel, alcohol and malt. Taste is very much the same, but SMOOTH. I am a big fan of this beer, but never really gave it a look, probably because of the can. I already went out and got some more.

Sep 2, 2009 12 ounce can from South Bay Drugs ($1.79). Pours a dark mahogany with thin layer of beige head that soon disappears. Rich and sweet malty aroma with caramel. Aroma of sweet smoky malts, toffee, brown sugar, and raisin. There’s a hint of watermelon (!) at the very beginning as well. Good, but could use a bit more complexity.

Sep 1, 2009 12 oz can. Deep purple brown with a brief balsa head. Nose is grape jelly and mild scotch. Medium body with prickly carb. Taste is plum, toffee, a touch of smoke and carrot juice with a dry, scotchy finish.

Aug 26, 2009 Dark brown pour with a lighter brown head. Aroma of roastd malt and smokiness. Tasty brew- roasted malt, velvet smokiness, taste, taste, taste. A little sweetness at the end makes this one of the nicest beers I had in awhile.After this and Dales, I need to search out more.

Aug 26, 2009 In a CAN! :-O Basically what one would expect in a Scotch ale - sweetness, slight smokiness, actually fairly nondescript beyond that.
