Nov 4, 2004 Poured (from a can!) a deep garnet red, topped by a thin light tan head. Rich, chocolatey body with a toasted cheerios kick that sets in before the alcohol hits. Fairly dry and bitter. As the beer warms the flavor profile opens up with burnt caramel and brown sugars mingling with woody peat. Surprisingly rich and well-crafted. Thanks Larry (goldtwins) for the surprise can!

Jun 18, 2006 (draft @ The Old Toad - Rochester, NY) Dark copper pour with a very thin tan head. Aroma is loaded with toasty caramel malts and some chocolate. Some smokiness too. The flavor is very smooth and sweet with a nice chocolate and caramel malt flavor. The finish is very sweet with some smokey malts to it. Very easy to drink and the alcohol isn’t overpowering. One hell of a canned scotch ale.

Sep 26, 2007 Canned. Deep brown coloured with a medium sized tan head. Quite malty and very sweet. Notes of syrup, dark sugar and cocoa. Too sweet for me.

Nov 1, 2006 Can. Pours a dark brown body with ruby tinges on the edge and a large creamy brown head. Superb aroma - caramel, butterscotch, peat, roasted malt, and sugar. Great flavour profile is present too - toasty malts, nuts, a touch of smokiness, and chocolate. Alcohol is well blended. Excellent.

Sep 28, 2007 Dark beer with mahogany hues when held against the light. Creamy light brown head out of the can. Sweet malty aroma with something earthy and green in the background. Lively on the tongue. Lots of malts in this beer, with burnt caramel, brown sugar, and a vaguely smoky grain note. Some coco puffs flavors and a green hop flavor. I’m not a big Scotch Ale fan (and I know that people get annoyed when others say that) but this is a pretty tastey beer.

Dec 1, 2007 Updated: May 14, 2008Neato. My 2nd canned good beer today! Looked a deep garnet in the pour, but is a near opaque dark brown in the glass, with a large thick beige head. Aroma features the dark malts, with chocolate and to a lesser extent caramel, also a bit roasty. Flavor much the same, features a pleasantly dry roasted chocolate flavor, leading to a dry finish that is complemented by a leafy hop bitterness. They’ve done well to contain the potential sweetness of a beer like this without over-hopping it. Super!

Aug 17, 2005 malt, caramel, and chocolate aroma. mildly smokey. dark brown color. caramel and roasted malt flavor. low carbonation throws me off but this is still a great scottish ale. smokiness isnt too overpowering. I really enjoy the alcohol content too. nice brew.
