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!

Nov 22, 2004 There’s a definite smoky malt to the aroma and something that reminds me of peanuts (something about peat smoke is reminiscent of boiled peanuts to me for some reason). There’s a big dose of brown sugar and caramel with the peat smoke in the flavor along with a slight bit of cocoa. A bit sticky but very tasty. The can doesn’t make any negative difference.

May 13, 2008 Can from Julio’s Liqour in Mass. Pours with a deep reddish-brown body topped by a thin, off-white head with little lacing. It’s slightly sweet and malty with a prominent peat note and an underlying roastiness that really shows through in the finish. Medium bodied, a bit tingly and slightly warming.

Jun 12, 2006 Updated: May 25, 2007Old Chub? C’mon, a can? Well, heck, this was a dandy, anyway! Poured the usual color and appearance for a Scottish ale, some smokey and sweet chocolate aromas. Flavor was smokey (light peat?) sweet chocolate malts with molasses and brown sugar in the mix. Body was heavy-moderate with light to medium carbonation. Yum. Re-rate, May 07, another nice experience, although the flavor and overall experience were dropped from 9/10.

Mar 6, 2007 Can courtesy of shp555: Poured an hazy dark brown color ale with a big thick foamy head with good retention. Aroma of sweet malt with subtle touch of peat smoke is quite interesting. Taste is a nice balance between smoky malt with some sweetness. Body is above average with a creamy texture and some medium carbonation. This is a very good example for the style with some very good balance.

Deep brown color with a light head. This was a great Scottish style brew. Loved the flavor and the malts used. Can also get a tad of smoked peat and the hops are very nice addition. Great BEER…
