| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 12, 2006 Dark brown pour with a small cap of beige foam. Toasty caramel aroma with chocolate cake, and a touch of hay. Sweet hot cocoa flavor that resolves into a clean dry finish. Nice soft palate, substantial body while still conveying the impression of delicacy. A really nice surprise. Best thing I’ve had out of a can so far, and a ridiculously good value.

Flavors of sweet malt, smoke, caramel, and some grains and wood. This is very good for being a canned beer. Interesting j12601 (1340), Poughkeepsie, New York, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Feb 27, 2009 Can. Pours a dark brown, almost black, with ruby highlights, with a small light beige head. Smoke, chocolate, caramel, toasted malt, malt, more malt, and a little bit of alcohol. Medium bodied and sweet. Ends in an almost smoky malt flavor, with piles of interplay on the gums.

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Aug 19, 2007 Smoked roasted scent exploded out of the can and poured a thin respectable head with little carbonation. Darker than any other scotch style I’ve had and attractive residual lacing sticks to the side of the glass with each sip. Great interplay of dark malt, sweetness, smoked malt, and friendly bitterness to round out the experience. Everything swirls in the mouth and lasts on the back of the roof of my mouth. Found myself rating it a bit higher as I enjoyed the second can. biz82 (1328), austin, Texas, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | May 17, 2008 Clear dark mahogany with a stable craft ale head of various bubble size and with lace. Floral caramel malt aroma with earthy and chocolate notes. Big bodied sweet and fortifying. Has a noticeable hop flavor mingled with dusty cocoa, toffee and smoke. Balanced bitterness. Quite the Americanized version of the style, big and bold upfront but perhaps lacking in follow through complexity. boFNjackson (1322), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Apr 8, 2009 Updated: Apr 9, 2009Can... Poured ruby-brown with a a thin beige head that lasted throughout the brew. Sweet, malty aroma with berry-like fruits and spiced dark chocolates. Strong cocoa malts in the flavors with a chocolate character that balanced with the alcohol notes. Chalky, smoked finish with roasted brown sugars. I bet the barrel aged version is awesome.
