| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 17, 2009 Can poured into a pint. I’m usually wary of canned beer, but this was actually pretty good. Great scotch ale. Sonicdescent (376), Donora, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Sep 16, 2009 Very nice appearance, burgundy with decent head. Scent is very sweet malt. Taste is different, can’t tell if it’s heavy or not. Reminds me of a spiked tea. thenick (744), North Bellmore, New York, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 15, 2009 Can. Pours a deep brown color, but clear, with an off-white head. Aroma is chocolate, caramel, and grain. Taste is largely roasted malt, with a little grain and highly, highly detectable alcohol at the end. I like it, it’s pretty solid, but something just seemed like it was missing here. It’s good, but it could be better. TizzleJizzle (54), Garland, Texas, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 13, 2009 Aroma of chocolate, wood, and caramel. As I poured this brew I became even thirstier because of the beautiful dark amber color. Jam-packed full of flavor! Initially I picked up on notes of at least 8 different flavors within about a second. First off I recognized the alcohol flavor, followed by roasted malts, and with a strong finish of smoked amazingness. This is an excellent and well crafted scotch ale that shouldn’t be missed. jbye4334 (652), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 12, 2009 (can). Clear, dark brown color. Small tan head. Roasted malt and alcohol aromas. Caramel and light alcohol flavors. Avg duration. Smooth finish. Slick texture. Soft carbonation. Spare lacing. mmmbeer (743), Austin, Texas, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | 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... joeyplush (333), Garnet Valley, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | 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. MrPickles (113), Wisconsin, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | 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.
