Feb 3, 2007 From the can. Beer is very dark and reasonably carbonated. The aroma is very sweet from spicey, caramel malts with hints of fruity yeast. The flavor starts full of sweet malt. The middle of the flavor shows slight hints of bitterness, a complex, spicey malt profile, and sweet, caramel and chocolate malts. There is almost a hint of smoke amidst the chocolate. The finish is full-bodied and sweet and malty. Overall, very nice.

Sep 11, 2007 Pours a dark brown that looks ruby when you let light through it. Tan head. Nose is heavy caramel with a touch of a peaty tone. Flavor is sweet with a touch of smokey background. Feel is good. Slightly sticky, but smooth. Pretty drinkable, though the level of sweetness (I think) detracts from it just a little bit.

Jan 2, 2007 Impressive. Pours like a cross between Coca-Cola and Guinness. Great light brown head that lasted the duration. Smells of caramel, chocolate, and a smoky hint. Flavor is the same, with a little more of the smoke and roast coming through. I drank four of these (along with a double Johnnie Walker Black Label) on New Year’s Eve, and I was more than satisfied. Too bad Oskar Blues only really has this and Dale’s Pale for mass consumption...I’d like to see them branch out and tackle other styles.

Jan 14, 2008 Opaque brown pour with the slightest of reddish tints. Thin off-white head. Flavor is roasted malts, some coffee, a bit of chocolate, and some dark fruit. Flavor is dominated by roasted malts, but also has the coffee and chocolate flavors, but all are very mellow and congeal together nicely! Bitter coffee on the after-palate. Nice level of carbonation and a nice mouthfeel...well above average for a Scotch Ale. A quality scotch ale (extra points for coming in a can!)

Jan 28, 2007 By far the best beer in a can I have ever had!! Pours a deep dark amber with a nice tan head. Aroma is malty with hints of alcohol and slightly sweet. Taste is rather complex and as the beer warms a slight hint of the 8% alcohol comes out. This is a must try, great beer.

Dec 22, 2006 Updated: Dec 28, 2006Dark brown with a mocha tan head. Creamy palate and a malty aroma. Roasted chocolate and caramel malt flavors with a hint of peat smoked malt in the background. Very rich and flavorful with some noticeable alcohol.

Jun 18, 2007 Updated: Jun 28, 2007Could The C.E.O. be a Hophead AND a Malthead at the SAME TIME? Yes. You know why? Because I like Beer that tastes like Beer. NOT ones that taste like white wine spritzers...any REAL MAN would agree with me. I just had this with some Kentucky Fried Chicken (Original Recipe)..with sides of mashed potatoes w/gravy and macaroni and cheese...I even spilled some of this into my plate and sopped it up with a biscuit!! It’s THAT good.

Aug 1, 2008 Can. Pours murky brown with a thin tan head, packed with tight bubbles. Chocolate and malty aroma, a touch of smoke. In flavor, roasty, chocolate and caramel, a touch sweet, some smoke, and a nice dose of hop bitterness to close. Drying and lush in the mouth. Excellent.
