Jul 19, 2009 Can you say malt? Smooth, round, and loaded with a carmel background taste that flows from the first sip to the last. Head is off tan and drops fairly quickly. A very smooth delivery of the style, despite the alcohol content. Sip this one.

can. pours a nice reddish-brown color with a tan head. Smells of sweet malt and hints of smoke and chocolate. the taste is of sweet malt and caramel, finish is some hops and taste of scotch. Overall this is a really enjoyable scotch ale.

Jul 12, 2009 Been meaning to try this one for a while. Dark pour - deep, reddish brown, with a light tan head. Very sweet, malt-forward - a sweet, nutty caramel with an incredibly mild roast. Nice and full-bodied, though a little undercarbonated, but this one’s lacking a bit of balance. Too much sweet, not enough roast / bitterness / booze to counter, even for a scotch ale. And they’re crazy if they think it "calls to mind a fine single malt scotch."

does not count  Jul 11, 2009 Very solid brew. One of the best Scottish Ales available to me on the West Coast.

Jul 9, 2009 Pours an almond color with a thin off-white head which fades rather quickly and leaves a few nice streaks of bubbly lacing. Aroma is caramel, almond, light chocolate, and some roasts. Taste is caramel malts, almond extract, with slight smokiness and cocoa. Never a fan of this style, but this is rather good.

Jul 6, 2009 12oz can pours a deep burgundy with almost no head. Smells strongly of burnt malt and roasted nuts. Flavor is raisins, plums, chocolatey caramel, and a smoky finish.
Thin, not at all sticky, with a smooth creamy finish. A big step up from the OB DPA which was my first canned craft beer.

Jul 3, 2009 Can, pours dark red with a tall tan head. Aroma is spiced big red and a light hop presence. Nice solid sweet malt body, some cinnamon and a hoppy finish. This is really nice and at 8 percent, very well balanced and enjoyable.
