| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Feb 18, 2008 Foam rose out of the can upon cracking open. Pour was dark with reddish highlights, good head and good lacing. Aroma was light smoke. Flavor was smoke, some earthiness, some toffee. Sweet, but not overly so. Mouthfeel was moderate, with increasing carbonation as it warmed. For a stateside Scottish Ale, excellent. I’d put it a behind Belhaven Wee Heavy a bit, but other than that, good stuff. stouby (1937), Holbaek, Denmark

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Feb 5, 2008 I have to admit that the first time i saw this can of beer whose name so closely resembled C.H.U.D. that I was a bit frightened. The little can just screams out that there is some watery swill contained within. But after pouring it out my fears were put to rest.
It pours out a nice shade of dark brown with red highlights with a thin beige head sitting on top. Smells of roasted malts, dark fruits, and smoky goodness. Has a well rounded sweet smoky flavor with some alcohol warmth appearing at the back of your throat. Feels nice and full as you swallow, slight amount of prickliness. finish is a long smooth smoky bitterness. The 8% abv goes wholly unnoticed in the taste. By far the best beer i have ever had out of a 12 oz. can. rane (498), Nibe, Denmark
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Feb 5, 2008 Can. Dark brow with small long lasting brown head. Aroma of roasted malts and caramel and a little bit of smoke. Taste again roasted malts and caramel ending with some smoked notes. A nice and very drinkable beer. The can was empty before I knew of it. Beershine (2710), Where Climate Suits My Clothes, Vietnam

Smells mainly like rye whiskey, not much else wafts from the glass. Deep mahogany brown. Alcohol-forward taste balanced by a strong malt character. Smooth palate with good carbonation. Canned version is the same, noting the smoky finish and the sweet malt character throughout. The nose has got lots of raisin bread character, and the dark raisin character persists throughout.
