SuzyGreenberg (1318), Seattle, Washington, USA Jan 27, 2008 12 oz. can - pours a very dark and thick amber with tanish head fading to the edges; rich aromas of dates, malts and caramel; drinks with a touch of alcohol, but mainly creamy mix of malts and sweetness; very slight dry finish TheCaptain (526), Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 25, 2008 Wow! Some magic in a 12oz can. Was not sure what to expect with the name and all.
Pours dark with a light bronzed head. Nice mouth full, warm rich malty flavor. Some smoke and chocolate caramel sweet blends keeps the Alc% in check. Will look for this again, love these Scotch Ales! 45thstbrewer (94), Conowingo, Maryland, USA Jan 22, 2008 Oskar Blues is great and I think this brew is a good showcase for beginning drinkers to find out what malty beer tastes like Hank1980 (732), Athens, Georgia, USA Jan 22, 2008 On tap at Trappeze. Pours very dark. Aroma of smoke, malt, fruit. Flavor is also of malt, smoke, fruit, and nut. Some cherries are present, and the finish has a nice hop bite. Mouthfeel is pretty full and creamy. A nice pint. kevd193213 (477), Hope Valley, Rhode Island, USA Jan 21, 2008 Draught at Bentley’s Tavern. Brownish amber pour with tan head. Aroma of smoke and malt. Taste of malt, almonds with smokey tones. Nice finish. Zinister (1198), Houston, Texas, USA Jan 20, 2008 Thanks to theisti for this can. Dark caramel color with off white head. Smoked peat, whiskey and sweet malt on the nose. Taste is rich and full with that whiskey flavor. I really enjoyed this and need to get more. Brewbie (217), New York, USA Jan 17, 2008 12oz can. dark brown, small head. big aroma of smoke and malts. sweet mouth, cherries and chocolate. smooth and creamy from start to finish. georgehog (18), Delaware, USA Jan 16, 2008 On draft at OB brewpub. Color is that of a blended scottish ale and brown ale, whatever color that would be. Aroma is amazing, with a malty, smokey, hoppy, chocolatey mix. One of the fullest bodied beer I have ever had, it just sticks to your bones. Taste is pretty much the same as the aroma. Alcohol content is hidden nicely and tends to sneak up on you (especially in the Rocky Mtns.). One of my favorite beers, excellent recipe formulation.
