Aug 8, 2006 Can from Super Saver. Deep brown pour with huge tan head. I got a huge aroma from a highball glass, which tells you how intense the aroma of this one is, providing roasty caramel malt, cacao, brown sugar, and almonds, with the same flavors, and a big chocolate syrupy finish with some nuts. This one is fantastic. Arguably the world’s best canned beer.

Nov 12, 2007 Dark ruby beer with a lasting off-white head. Heavy malty aroma, from grainy pale malt to darker roast malts, with some wood, and a hint of smoke. The dark malts and smoke dominates the flavour which is rather sweet. As much as I hate to repeat the marketing speech, there is indeed an aftertaste similar to a good whisky. After half the can, the combination of sweetness and roast/smoked malt becomes too much for me

Feb 13, 2006 Dark clear brown ale with a thick moka head. Sweet caramel aroma, with pleasant butterscotch and vanilla. In mouth, sweet malt with vious notes, warm alcohol, but a bot short in mouth. A novelty scotch in a can. Can at the CNY Brewfest 2006.

Jan 13, 2002 Updated: Mar 26, 2006100% blind rating.
Head is initially large, frothy, light brown, mostly diminishing.
Body is dark amber to medium brown.
Aroma is moderately malty (roasted grain, molasses, toasted nuts), lightly hoppy (herbs), with light notes of smoke, tobacco, and plum.
Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter.
Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, moderately bitter.
Medium to full body, velvety texture, soft/lively carbonation, lightly to moderately alcoholic.
Even done completely blind (my previous non-blind score was 3.2), I’m still not wild about this one, but it’s certainly decent. Too sweet to fully enjoy.

Feb 17, 2006 Sample (can), EBF 2006. Clear, very dark mahogany with a lasting just-off-white head and bit of lace....nose is full-on caramel, sweet and burnt by turns, smoky and lightly herbal (oregano)....dry, woody, character initially in the body, with caramelized banana and oaky vanilla delightful at first, but....turns too dry and ashy, even somewhat dull and turgid at the finish...low-to-medium carbonation, average fullness of body. A nice beer, but somewhat disappointing given expectations.

Feb 5, 2007 Aroma of smoked malt. Has the appearance of a stout, including a tan head that didn’t stick. Cola-colored is about on it. Starts sweet. Carmelly sweet, but not sticky. A bit of smoke and chocolate whirls around. Medium mouthfeel. Slick feel. The hops don’t really show up until the long finish, and even then the malt is significant. It’s really good stuff, though I don’t think it is complex, just straightforwardly good.

Jun 3, 2005 Can courtesy of csbosox. Pours a very dark borwn with some ruby red showing through when held to light. The head is a light tan color. The aroma is rich caramel and chocolate with some wood. The taste is rich chocolate and some caramel. There is also some hint of light tobacco. A well made Scotch ale.
