| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Aug 28, 2006 I found this can sitting in the field the sunday morning after Belgian Comes to Cooperstown beer fest this year. Pours a deep dark ruby amber with a thin grayish beige head and thin lace. Smells thick and fruity with sweet caraeml malts, raisin, nutty malts, and light tobacco. Flavor is sharp sweet caramel malts, fruits, nutty and chocolate malts. The mouthfeel and finish is smooth and full. Great scotch ale. CapFlu (3483), Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Feb 7, 2006 (Can) Sampled at the Central New York Brewfest in Syracuse on February 4, 2006. I’m sad to report that when I say it was the second time I hit the can today that it wasn’t the toilets. I have no idea what this brewery is doing? Its poured from a can. Its a scottish lactic ale? Smokey, porterish and grainy? I don’t think this beer has an identity. FatPhil (3477), Espoo, Finland

Good deep red, doughy head. Very malty aroma, some wet sheep. Very smooth and soft in the mouth. Massive roasty malty taste - some coffee. Very sticky. Quite authentic Scottish bent. Quite punchy, and with a decent finish. larsniclas (3386), Gothenburg, Sweden

Hazy, dark amber. Small, beige head.
