| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 28, 2005 Springslicker gave me this one. "I guarantee its the best canned beer you’ve ever had" he said. That’s damning with faint praise, I thought. But sur enough, its really good. Clear, cola looking brown with a nice tan head. Chocolatey, toasty aroma. Rich and earthy, with a pleasent sweet milky chocolatey flavor. Substantial and filling. riversideAK (2731), Shoreline, Washington, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 26, 2007 Dark mahogany color with almost no head. Chocolate malts with a hint of roast and smoke in the aroma. Nice malty sweetness. Chocolate dominated with notes of roasted malt, dried fruits, and the lightest touch of smoke. Creamy and full bodied. A lingering dry smokiness in the finish with a touch of alcohol. Nuffield (2724), Roseville, Minnesota, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Jan 9, 2006 Delicious, rich Irish-cream head on a dark chestnut brown body. Aroma of butterscotch, vanilla, and toffee. A little burnt edge, finishing malty and vanilla. Moderately thick palate, coating the mouth. I had this at a high quality pub and it was on tap less than week, so I don’t think it was the condition...just I wasn’t enjoying this that fully.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 21, 2007 12 oz can from mcbackus; Nose of caramel, and chocolate malts, with a small smoky hint; clear dark walnut with a big tan head, heavily lacing the glass as it recedes; flavor semi-sweet with caramel and some roasty, smoky coffee notes and tiny bit of bitterness in the finish.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Feb 5, 2008 Updated: Feb 21, 2009Titanic Brewery draught. Smells mainly like rye whiskey, not much else wafts from the glass. Deep mahogany brown. Alcohol-forward taste balanced by a strong malt character. Smooth palate with good carbonation. Canned version is the same, noting the smoky finish and the sweet malt character throughout. The nose has got lots of raisin bread character, and the dark raisin character persists throughout. michael-pollack (2691), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 7, 2006 Draught at Brewery: Aroma is slightly malty and has licore scent. Poured ruby/brown in color. Small, off-white head diminished. Clear. No lacing. Flavor of roast, malts, hazelnut, coffee, and nutty. Moderate sweet. Not bitter. Light to medium body. Soft carbonation. Short finish. Overall, decent for a Scotch Ale. Storm (2685), Amager, Denmark
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 23, 2006 33 cl can. Dark reddish brown colour with a weak head. Aroma of malt, coffee and dark chocolate. Very sweet flavour with roastedness and notes of some oil-like, but ends up little watery but also with noteable alcohol. notalush (2668), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Mar 18, 2006 Purple-ish red color, with loosely packed white head - aroma of chocolate, caramel, smoked malts - all of these appear in relatively good balance in the flavor, but the overall taste is a little bit too sweet - lindering smoked malt and cocoa in the finish - if it weren’t as sweet, it would be much better.
