Feb 4, 2007 I\Canned, of course. My first Oskar, and I can kind of see what the shouting is about. A nice peaty smoke smell, and a dark Scotch color in the pour. Leaves an oily coating on the side of the glass, like a high-test stout. Taste is heady alcogol, with a bot of heather, maybe. Deep smoke on top of fine roasted malts.

May 21, 2006 Julios Beer Festival. Pour of clearish mahogany and amber, with a soapy head of tan. Aroma of dusky hazlenut and the inside of maple tree bark. Flavor flows with a rich blend of nutty caramels, toast and aged grains. Rich and creamy. Smack of almonds and light grass. Decent balance.

Feb 10, 2007 Pours a very rich dark brown, with a medium, stable, tan head. Pretty smoky, kind of a musty smell, with some dark malts in there. Not overly aromatic. The taste is somewhat bitter sweet, a little caramle, light chocolate, dark malts. The finish is pretty smooth. Not too shabby for canned beer. I’d heard good things and it was about what I expected.

Oct 3, 2004 Pours a deep brown with ruby hints and a large well developed white head. Nice lacing that doesn’t develop naturally but does develop when it is messed around with
Nose is deep. Sweet malts and roasted malts are huge. Toffee and burnt chocolate throughout as well.
Cabonation is sparse. Somewhat light in flavor. Chocolate, subtle smokiness sweet malts and a nice hop bite on the finish. Mouthfeel is full until then finish when it thins out and becomes watery. Nice flavor profile throughout the beer. Nothing great, but totally solid.

Oct 16, 2007 This has got to be one of my favorite scotch ales. I know everyone says this but WOW! This came from a CAN? Aroma of strong malt and caramel. Pour was a nice dark brown with a nice 1 finger off white head. Taste was HUGE. Easily drinkable with huge caramel malt flavors and a decent light hop aftertaste. Can pick up some woody and roasty flavors in the back of the tongue. After I hit 1000 I will buy a lot more of this.

Feb 21, 2008 12 oz can. Dark brown body with a thin and fast disappearing beige head. Light roasted malt aroma. Flavor is smoked, malty, chocolate and surprisingly well hidden alcohol. Well balanced and nice.

Oct 17, 2008 Pour is a super dark brown with a small white head. Aroma is very nice with lots of roasted malts and molasses. flavor is not so much. Very heavy and cloying to start with. Some malt, some wood smoke and a lot of booze. I’ll give it props for being something different but this is not for me.

Dec 11, 2005 Pours a nice dark brown, almost black. Aromas of chocolate, with hints of nut and smoke. Flavor is a nice creamy chocolate with a bittersweet aftertaste. This is one hell of a beer.
