Aug 13, 2009 12oz can. Pours a deep reddish brown with one finger head that quickly shrinks to a ring around the glass. Aroma is syrupy sweet caramel, a bit of roast malt, dark cocoa with a toasted quality and a touch of alcohol. A very caramel and cocoa sweet malt flavor.
Very creamy and sweet, malty. Very easy to drink.

Aug 12, 2009 Dark and glassy reddish. Head is cardboard brown and stays for a bit. Specky lace. Has an only slightly orange tinge (like triaminic).
Strong caramel and toffee aromas. Molasses. Like a sweeter barleywine, or a darker brown sugar.
Sweet molasses and brown sugar blast. Really sweet but with a really malty base that balances it. Heavy, malty and good.
A bit oily in the feel, but also a bit chewy. Thick and dry too. Top shelf. A great, sweet Scotch ale. Quite good and strong.

Aug 12, 2009 On tap in a pint glass. Pours murky brown with a dark and creamy almost Guinness-like head. The aroma is sweet malt and dark esters with a fair amount of alcohol and a dash of salty smoke. The flavor is quite sweet and goes down with a bit of smoke and a good dose of hops. Mouthfeel is quite creamy like carbonated chocolate milk.

Aug 9, 2009 I’ve never been that into scotch ales, or anthing that appears to be one, but this one is pretty damn impressive. Pours dark and smooth. Very strong aroma of smoked malts. The flavor has quite the kick to it. Caramel and roasted malt. I questioned the whole beer out of a can thing but I’m glad I tried this one.

Aug 5, 2009 Cheers Joe Mcphee. Strong malt aroma with fruit and syrup. Deep mahogany colour with a thin lace. Medium carbonation. Strong malt flavour. Smooth syrup texture with a tangy bit at the end. Rich berry. Powerful spirit like finish.

Aug 3, 2009 I’m admittedly not a fan of this style, but this was a really nice version. Pours a nice rich mahogany/cola brown with a thin off white head. Aroma was slightly smoky, really sweet, a big malt bomb with just a touch of smokiness. Flavor was similar. Enjoyed the first half, but then got into the "meat" flavors you can get with smoky beers. This would go great with a Brat or something.
