Aug 7, 2007 Updated: Aug 19, 200712 oz bottle via JOHNyKAT (hey this guy sends me a package for no reason exept that he is cool..f%&$8n’ hey!!!! thanks, mr kat YOU RULE!). Pours A DEEP DARK BROWN WITH A LARGE BEIGE HEAD. Nose is heavy chocolate malt(nuts), phenols, and yeast. Hmm, this is weird as it tastes like an easy drinking vanilla flavored porter but with much more going on...quite nice. Med body, low carbonation..i love this one but i dont like scotch ales, so whaT DOES THIS MEAN...?!!!!!! I DON’T really know, but i like this beer, it is good at 3 AM on an August night:=)

Apr 3, 2006 The best beer by far I have ever had in a can. I would venture to say even better if it came in a bottle. Pours a deep brown with a slight tan head. Flavor is nice and malty, with nice malt hints. Aroma is also malty with some caramel sweetness to it.

Mar 20, 2008 Aroma lacks the complexity of others...this one is all maple and molasses. Amazing blood red body with a thick khaki head that leaves fairly quickly but provides an obvious reminder in the glass. Smoke, brown sugar, and roasted nuts are the backbone to this brew. Creamy, full-flavored, and rich...thumbs-up!!!

Jan 9, 2007 Actually drank from the can, then for the second had in a glass. Pours out a nice dark brown with a medium sized off white head. Aroma is sweet and roasty. Flavor is complex with some roasted malt, caramel and slight chocolate, maybe an earthy note or two. Not bad, especially for a canned beer.

Nov 26, 2008 2008 Can - Pours dark and opaque without being too heavy...aroma is sweet molassas malt and some light roasted grain...thick mouthfeel without being too cloying or dense...flavour is a nice balance of burnt malt, fruit, brown sugar, lightly biter and a great alcohol kick that was perfectly hidden...the most fun out of a can yet...

Nov 17, 2008 #300 12oz can. Dark brown pour. Very malty, peaty aroma. It actually smells a little scotch. Slightly sweet boozy flavor, but very smooth. Tasty.

May 19, 2005 Its great to see the Oskar beers now appearing in Oregon.
Bought this tonight and hurried home with great expectations.
Very attractive looking beer out of the can, dark chesnut brown with a large creamy/bubbly off white head,..that shrinks in a few minutes but leaves a gorgeous lace down the glass.
Very nice malty aroma, mostly caramel style, hint of smoke.
Wow this is a really nice American try at a Scotch Ale ( ok,ok most Scotch ales are American now!)Wondefully sweet and malty with flavours of dark fruits, blackberries, winey in some aspects and finishes up with a nice smokey aftertaste.Very well done.
Good on the palate , quite smooth and the alcohol is not noticable.
Over all a fine beer..best ever ina can. Will have again.
