Nov 13, 2005 Thanks to Dickinsonbeer for this beer.
Poured dark with ruby highlites and a semi-creamy brown head. Arom of molasses, dark fruit, and a touch of smoke. Taste is sweet and malty with heavy molasses flavor and a dry smoky finish. Nice scotch ale.

Aug 1, 2006 (Can from Julio’s Liquors) Dark amberish brown body with about 1/2" of soft biscuit head that recedes to about 1/8". Aroma of sweet caramel and toffee. Mouthfeel smooth, fairly full, but a touch loose and watery. Flavor is full of the caramel, hints of Scotch and smoked maltiness also in there. Finishes with a bit of piney bitterness. I enjoyed this, could have been a bit richer but otherwise really nice.

Apr 19, 2008 Pours a clear deep amber brown with a nice foamy tan head. Aroma of roasted malts and semi-sweet chocolate. Nice flavor, caramel sweetness with coffee bitterness and a smoky finish. Better than most anything in a can!

Dec 10, 2006 Yea a dark roasted aroma and color. A fairly large tan dense head, no doubt because of the can. Rich, sweet tasting. I get alot of alcohol initially in taste, a feature with this style that I do not care for.

Mar 29, 2009 12 oz can courtesy of the singles selection at Three Cellars (Franklin, WI). This beer certainly has potential as I crack the can open. Pours a very nice murky dark brown with reddish copper notes through, decent offwhite head that dissipates to a small amount and laces a bit. Aromas are typical of the style, strong and enjoyable, caramel and toffee malts with vanilla, peat, a touch of toastiness, and a dollop of chocolate with a nice sweetness balanced by a subtle floral hoppiness. Initial is a good bodied brew that packs the malty flavors in, toast, carmel, toffee, and a touch of chocolate dance with light peat and creamy vanilla and sweetness. Hops make an appearance and bitter for balance on the backend, but lightly. A malty brew, packed with flavor. Sessionable but strong, a little watery on the palate for the 8% though.

Feb 18, 2008 Foam rose out of the can upon cracking open. Pour was dark with reddish highlights, good head and good lacing. Aroma was light smoke. Flavor was smoke, some earthiness, some toffee. Sweet, but not overly so. Mouthfeel was moderate, with increasing carbonation as it warmed. For a stateside Scottish Ale, excellent. I’d put it a behind Belhaven Wee Heavy a bit, but other than that, good stuff.
