| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 20, 2004 Updated: May 13, 2004Pours a clear deep amber color, and is topped by a good light brown head. Sticky, malty, candied notes waft from my glass as I pour. When I go in for a deeper sniff, I get toasted malt notes and a hint of roast malt at the end. Wow, this has a good solid mouthfeel and a nice rich body. There are lots of malt flavors here (caramel, biscuit, quite chewy actually). Perhaps a hint of roasty smoke in the finish. This beer is also subtly fruity with notes of raisins in it. This is a damn good beer in a can, certainly the best I have had up to this point. The hop perception is appropriately quite low, with only a hint of balancing bitterness in the finish. This is damn tasty, for any beer, and it really hits the spot right now.

Pours a dark mahogany with chestnut highlights. creamy one finger beige head that left nice lacing. Sweet malty nose with hints of smoke, chocolate malt, alcohol, and dark fruits. Very fruity flavor, chocolate malt, smoke, and a tinge of alcohol. Very full flavored and hides the alcohol well. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with a syrupy and sticky texture. Fairly fizzy active carbonation. This was an enjoyable, well rounded Scotch Ale. Very drinkable. robertsreality (2460), Minnesota, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Dec 10, 2004 Can pours like coca cola, fizzly light brown head, spotty lacing, with light carbonation. Peat, Irish Moss, roasted malts, light touch of coffee beans and a bit of earth on the nose. Definitely seems to have character. Malty up front, peaty, touch of roasted malts. Respectable body, with a decent mouthfeel. Lingering finish of peat, earth, and roasted malts. Quite tasty!
