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.

Jul 15, 2008 Can. Heavy malt aromas of roasted, molasses, and mild coffee, moderate hops and yeast of resin and earth, with notes of raisin, toffee, and vanilla. Head is large, creamy, off-white, with fair lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is dark brown. Flavor is moderately sweet and lightly acidic to start and finishes moderately sweet and lightly bitter. Palate is medium, between watery and almost syrupy and has a lively carbonation. A deep maltiness and well rounded flavors makes this one of the best Scotch Ales I’ve tried.

Sep 11, 2009 12 oz. can poured into tumbler- poured a non transparent near black when held to a light source, medium carbonation, half finger off tan head formed, laced and shared a smoke with me. Aroma of a charred malt (but in a good way!), dark caramel, and magical beer goodness! Hits the mouth with high-wide body, malt steps on your feet, then socks you right in the mouth with a good solid hook, sweetness lingers in the background from the start, middle is solid, finish has some cream in the background, and lingers. Solid brew... and you should all know what is next for a comparison...
