Malty, caramel, and light fruit flavor. Fuller bodied. Caramel, malt, and light earth lingers. Not bad. beerbuzzmontreal (2911), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 18, 2007 Seductive aroma of caramel, chocolate, smoked malt and a burnt feeling that reminds me of molasses. The pour reveals a murky dark brown color with a thick, diminishing tan head. The flavor focuses on sweetness and malt, there’s a caramel and chocolate combo with smoked malt and again that burnt feeling. This fine scotch ale has a medium body and oily texture while the carbonation is gentle. I like the fact that this beer is very sweet but doesn’t feel sticky, it’s one of my favorite scotch ales brewed in the USA. shrubber85 (2910), Wallhalben, Germany
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Nov 10, 2005 Can. Dark molasses malt and hops aroma. Opaque black-brown color with ample head. Strong creamy malt and molasses flavor with a much lighter hops flavor than I expected from the aroma. Nice full body with a slightly oily feel. Have to agree with other raters - one of the best canned beers I’ve ever had. BMan1113VR (2868), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 31, 2008 Pours with a small, creamy, light brown head that quickly disapates. Body is an ultra dark reddish-brown body. Aroma of peat, smoke, some sweet malts, and dark fruits. Pretty light tasting, finishes with some peat, smoke and malt. Hard water mouthfeel with low carbonation. Alcohol is well hidden. DougShoemaker (2856), Toronto, Canada

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 2, 2008 Sample at Pizza Port Solana Beach. Pours a mostly clear dark reddish-brown color with a medium thin and foamy beige head that dissipates slowly. Small patches of lacing. Aroma of malt and molasses, along with a touch of hops. Rich body with a sweet character of malt, caramel and molasses that is spiked with a decent amount of hops. The finish is roasted malt with a lingering sweetness left over. Pretty enjoyable all around. austinpowers (2828), New York, New York, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 18/20 | Nov 13, 2005 alcohol was pretty well hidden - and yet there was an odd malt flavor. Little hops. No complaints. Enjoyed at NYC’s BrewTopia fest.
