Dec 27, 2003 The second canned beer from this great Colorado brewery, and as It sets in the glass a quite deep sanguineous color with ruby high lights, head is portly in size, creamy in texture and the color a toothsome light tan, as the head slowly evaporates a fine sheet of lace develops to seal off the glass, and as its consumed a fine set of Irish Rings is left behind to track your progress. Sweet malt nose, hints of toasted grain, fresh, crisp and quite pleasing to the olfactory and Ocular senses, start is sweet, nicely malted, top rich and pleasant in its feel to the palate. Finish is benignly acidic, the hops delightful in their spiciness, aftertaste quite dry, a fine representative to the style and one unfortunately we don’t see much of here in the west.

Oct 7, 2002 On tap GABF ’02: Sweet malty aroma, hazy deep orange color, full rich mouthfeel. Ends a little sweet, and stays with you for a while. Great malt profile.

Jul 24, 2005 This beer was pretty damn good and very decieving coming in the can though i had it on draft. A very dark blackish color with a tan soapy head. Lots of chocolates and nuts in the aroma and body. Very smooth and creamy, damn fine beer if i do say so.

Aug 15, 2008 Very dark brown but full of cherry red. Nice tan head. Nose is delightful. It is full of smoky malt and wood. Throw in some whiskey as well. Flavor is pretty much defined by the aroma but add some chocolate covered cherries and toffee. Feel is smooth but not enough life. Alcohol is well hidden. One of the top of its genre. Good!!

Nov 1, 2006 Can. Pours a dark brown body with ruby tinges on the edge and a large creamy brown head. Superb aroma - caramel, butterscotch, peat, roasted malt, and sugar. Great flavour profile is present too - toasty malts, nuts, a touch of smokiness, and chocolate. Alcohol is well blended. Excellent.

Oct 11, 2006 I can’t tell if the can is effecting the taste by lowering expectations, but this is one fine scotch ale. Layers of malt flavor from chocolate to smoke to roasted coffee. Thick enough to be substantial but smooth enough to toss back a couple. I loved Dale’s Pale and and quickly becoming a fan of Oskar Blues.

Nov 19, 2007 A wonderful, warming beer to enjoy by the fireside on those chilly, raw, dark and nasty winter nights....a cockle-warmer for sure.
