| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 26, 2006 355 ml can. Dark reddish copper colour. Thick light brown head. Clear, but with some yeast residue floating in the glass. Rich malty sweet aroma with some roasted and caramel. Gives an impression of a really sweet beer. Lightly burnt caramel. Cream. Thick mouthfeel. At first a bit sweet, but the finish is dry with a gentle hop bitter aftertaste. Hops linger a while after swallowing. Surprisingly mild and gentle.

As an aftertaster I had some expects, but Dales is the best. Scotisch and not more, forgetable! tytoanderso (1387), St. Louis Park, Minnesota, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Nov 30, 2007 Can from Beerlando. Mildly sweet aroma at first then turning into notes of molasses, some wet wood and a hint of piney hops. Pours a nice deep, rich dark brown with full amber highlights. Plenty of flavor and balanced nicely. Lots of sweet malt, a touch of smoke, molasses, toffee and a kiss of wood smoke. Medium to full bodied. Finishes rather dry at first turning into a linger smoked woodiness. brewblackhole (1385), Muskego, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 31, 2006 Carmelly malt and chocolate aroma,distinct but not strong, an initial burst of grainey malt with chocolate, sweet carmel and a touch of fruitiness, all of which suddenly and quickly fades to dryness and a hint of smoke. Its almost strange how that happens. Once again, a pleasant surprise from a can nickd717 (1385), Palo Alto, California, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 6, 2009 12oz can from City Beer Store in SF. Dark brown color with one-finger tan head, carbonation noticeable. Sweet dark malts on the aroma. Flavor is malty and sweet with caramel flavors and noticeable alcohol. Really smooth mouthfeel. Pretty damn enjoyable. Stine (1380), St. Paul, Minnesota, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 29, 2007 Pours thickly to a dark chocolate brown with chestnut red edges. Lacing sticks all over the sides. Sweet chocolate aroma with a lemony alcoholic undertone. Black cherries under the cocoa and a hint of the caramel malt. Burnt graham cracker, vanilla and kahlua flavors with a dirty copper coating. Hints of molasses and purple grapes. Slightly hot, residual oak tone. This would benefit so much from a little
more density. Lacking this, the raw burn and general dirtiness are hard to ignore. The malts are so nice that this could have been a real first class effort. Close. DragonStout (1380), Pataskala, Ohio, USA
