May 15, 2006 Can. Pours a murky dark reddish-brown with lots of bubbles and a large lasting tan head. Slightly mild aroma of caramel malt, chocolate and a hint of smoke -- quite nice! Flavour starts smokey along with caramel malt , chocolate and alcohol and ends with a bitter finish -- quite flavourful. Medium bodied. A can eh? I’m a convert, this is surprisingly really good!

Mar 22, 2006 Canned. Pours a dark brown with red when held to the light. Light foamy tan head that left lacing. Nicest looking beer I have ever scene poured out of a can. Aroma of caramel, chocolate, raisins, Flavor of chocolate, smoke, lightly sweet malts. Sensing a bit of the hops in the flavor (nothing too much though). Smooth and creamy mouthfeel. Very well done Scotch Ale.

Oct 10, 2004 Updated: Dec 12, 2004GABF, can. By far my favorite Scotch Ale in a can. Clear amber color with a nice light tan head. Aroma is a bit light of toasted and roasted malts and a light smokiness. Taste is of light malted milk balls more smoke and just a touch of peat. Nice hoppiness and light grains taste.

Sep 5, 2006 Can. Large tan fizzy head that mostly diminished, sparse lacing, transparent, fizzy carbonation, and a reddish brown hue. Malty, caramel, chocolate and alcohol nose. Ditto for the flavor. Smooth mouthfeel. Light-medium body.

Mar 13, 2004 Poured from a can! Almost black. Faint light peers through revealing a deep red shine. Medium tan head. Not bad! Nose is malted, but has a sweetened note or two along with a hint of roasted character. The taste itself is most definitely roasted and mixed with sweetened malt. Some coffee notes as well. Almost like a watered down or lighter Old Rasputin. Damn good beer, nonetheless!

Sep 28, 2005 On tap at the Summit Wayside Tavern in Atlanta, Ga. Deep, dark copper pour, tight off-white head that sticks around for a while. Sweet, bubble-gum like aroma. Slightly artificial fruity flavor, reminiscent of fruit cocktail - the canned variety. Some candied sugar notes in there as well. Not quite as thick as expected. Alcohol hidden rather well.
