Feb 22, 2008 Very dark mahogny towards deep red, with a minimal brown head. Aroma has tons of chocolate and caramel and i sensed some smoked whiskey notes aswell. Heavy malt flavor of bitter roasted chocolate and a thick palate from the caramel malts. Alchohol is well placed and the finish is quite dry and bitter almost ashy, again with some smoked notes. Great

Nov 19, 2008 Can from NBD, NYC.
Lovely dark ruby ale.
Ripe fruit, cherries, sweet apples, plums. A hint of smoke. Alcohol warming, dusty hops, warm finish.

Jun 9, 2008 Pours dark dark brown, almost black with a small amount of tan head. You can taste the sesame like flavor of the malts right away - very sweet and thick beer with notes of raisins, dates and caramel. Just a taste of smoke, almost a peat like flavor. My favorite Scotch Ale.

Oct 10, 2006 12oz can, no date. Pours a deep brown with a small beige head. Aroma of roasty coffee and brown sugar, chocolate, a little smoke and lesser nuts. Flavor is a little more peaty smoke, though the other flavors are pretty much the same as the smell. Alcohol is noticeable, but not overbearing by any means. Full bodied, moderate carbonation. Quite smooth. I’ve only had this and Dale’s Pale from these guys, and they are everything I expected them to be--which seems to be a rarity.

Jan 20, 2006 Can. Strong, stouty chocolate malt aroma. Black with a tan head and a huge amount of lacing. Chocolaty beer, sweet, smooth, with a hint of hops and pale malt in the finish. Roasty notes in the flavor. Enjoyable, a drink to savor...from a can...now that’s freakin fun.

Jan 29, 2007 Wow, a decent rated canned beer. Have to try this one out! Pours a dark brown with a nice tan head on top that is not going anywhere! Looks delicious! Aroma is full of malt with smoked malts, chocolate, and caramel taking dominance. Flavor is full of smoke and chocolate malts. Hints of caramel are in there too. No sign of alcohol in this making it a pretty smooth beer on the palate. This is an excellent canned beer.

Oct 23, 2005 Black with ruby hints when held up to light. Creamy tan head. Malty, slightly smoky aroma. Roasty flavor with malty sweetness and hints of peat/smoke in the finish. Chewy with a long sweet finish.
A very tasty Scottish ale, suprisingly drinkable for a strong ale (and from a can).
