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.

Jul 24, 2005 12 oz. can, thanks to slob for sending this my way! Pours dark, garnet brown with a large, beige head that diminished at a leisurely pace leaving some lacing. Aroma is sweet and a little savory (?) like molasses and butter, toffee and a hint of peat. Flavor is rich, sweet and smooth, brown sugar, alcohol, chocolate syrup, and an herby finish. Full body and creamy mouthfeel make this all add up to a fine scotch ale. Another goodie from Oskar Blues.

Jan 23, 2005 Hmmm, a can huh. Great big frothy light brown head. Beautiful settling. Head lasts for a long time and leaves some nice lacing. Rocky on top. Roasted grain aroma with peat, brown sugar and a hint of smoke. Color is a nice dark brown with hints of port. Slightly metallic. Roasty and malty with a little thin palate. Hides its alcohol well. Finish is creamy and slightly dry and bitter. A very good scottish ale and even better for it being in a can. Wish they sold this stuff locally. Could become my staple. Thanks to goldtwins for this "bonus" brew.

Jun 12, 2006 Pours deep mahogany into a shaker. Deep roasted caramel notes. Consistent off-white micro head. Soft, silky and creamy with upfront caramel and a long lasting smoked milk chocolate finish. Better as it warms.

Jul 22, 2006 Can...no shit! Pours deep dark brown with thick creamy brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, peat, and cocoa. Nice creamy, medium full mouthfeel. Flavor is sweet with a big malt backbone, but with a dry roastiness and pleasant hop bitterness. Flavor of dark fruit and light roast coffee on the smooth finish. Nice. To many of these by the grill or pool could mess you up!

May 23, 2008 Can. Dr. Pepper body with a lasting foamy head. Nose-straw, peat, dust, cola. Taste-chalky, light peat, medium perfect sweetness, medium peat smoke, light unsweet dark fruit, alcohol on the back end, very creamy without being lactic. Very nice. I like this, and I am not usually fond of the style.

Jun 6, 2007 Nice! Smoke, peat, and caramel, all you could really want in a Scotch ale. Not quite as complex as some of the top tier stuff but very, very fine.

Feb 15, 2007 Its about time that the Can gets some respect. Strong notes of Caramel, toasty coffee, mild cocoa, and lots of malty flavor. It hits you hard. perfect for a night cap.
