Jan 25, 2009 Very good! Looks like Coke in the glass. Sweet chocolate and coffee on the nose. Toasty malt sweetness in the mouth with some faint peatiness. I’ll be buying some more of this one.

Sep 29, 2008 This beer pours a nice clear dark brown. The aroma has caramel and toffee present. It has a good body and great flavor, with lots of malt and a nice, sweet finish. This is definitely one of the better beers you can find in a can. Then again, I guess you can say that for the entire Oskar Blues line.

Jul 3, 2008 Pours from the can - go figure - a dark brown with a nice head that reduces but remains for the entire experience. the lacing on the sides of the glass is perfect. A thick scotch ale that feels like it is textured on your tongue. Strong flavor of toffee and roasted malts. An excellent, excellent scotch ale.

Feb 14, 2009 Black in color...opaque. Creamy head, though a little thin. Sweet malt aroma, with hints of caramel. Front is sweet, malty and a tad smoky...crisp, yet creamy mouthfeel. Back has a mellow malt flavor, with somewhat of a hop bite finish. A flavorful ale...powerful, yet not overpowering.

Oct 22, 2008 Pours a purple/brown color with thick, billowing cocoa colored head. Beautiful sweet malty aromas with hints of caramel, dark bread dough with dried fruit. Full bodied beer with desent carbonation. Sweet malty taste hits first, followed by a sudden rush of pungent brandy soaked fruit candy. Beautiful balance of sweet malt and peppery alchohol. The finish is long and lingering with hints of semi-sweet baker’s chocolate, coffee, and kahlua liquer. Try with chocolate cake or rich dark fruitcake. P.S.- don’t let the aluminum can fool you, this is a top notch beer.

Mar 6, 2009 Enjoyed via 12oz can. Pours a nice medium brown color with a slight tan head. Nose is one of crystal and perhaps a small amount of chocolate malt. Sweet and malty on the palate, with a finish that, while sweet, is far from cloying, and that allows the beer to remain highly drinkable. An excellent interpretation of the style.

Jul 19, 2009 Can you say malt? Smooth, round, and loaded with a carmel background taste that flows from the first sip to the last. Head is off tan and drops fairly quickly. A very smooth delivery of the style, despite the alcohol content. Sip this one.

Sep 21, 2009 Fantastic Scotch Ale. Pours dark copper with very little head. Very large caramel and toasty flavors that balance well with the bitterness and alcohol warmth. This is a sneaky big beer. The flavors really open up when it warms to 50 degrees or so. This beer is a must have for all refrigerators.
