Flavor is light smoke, dark chocolate and dark caramel. Flavor is big yet not too much of anything. Some floral hops as well in the finish. Medium body, good carbonation and a very slick mouthfeel with no alcohol detected. Cletus (5057), Connecticut, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 25, 2008 Can from Charles. Muddy brown with a small off-white head. Nice aroma of caramel malts, chocolate, a little smoke. Sticky, icky mouthfeel with more caramel, chocolate, brown sugar, a bit of hops, and smoke. This is much better than I remember it. I wouldn’t want to drink more than a couple pints of this in a session, but it’s still very good. A bit underrated. One of the best scotch ales I have had. jcr (1160), Jasper, Indiana, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 8, 2006 Can. Appealing dark reddish brown pour with tight-bubbled, creamy tan head. Aroma filled with sweet malts that conjure up molasses, caramel, raisin. Tastes rich with sweet malts and a peppery alcohol finish. Thick and creamy on the palate. Easy, tasty drinking.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 1, 2006 12 oz can. Pours a lovely mahogany with a nice tan head. Nose is woody, smokey, chocolatey, bourboney malt. Beautiful, thick dark tan lace. Body is a touch thin, but silky smooth. Flavor showcases the nose. Beautiful! tennisjoel (947), Shakopee, Minnesota, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 25, 2007 Dark opaque deep brown in color. A nice cocoa flavor with a touch of smoke/peat. Toffee and butterscotch meld together in the background. A nice scotch ale. weeare138 (936), Collegeville, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 7, 2005 Appears a dark brown with a slight red hue. Decent retention of the tan head with spotty lacing.
Smell is of chocolate, smoked peat, caramel, along with cocoa powder dusting.
Taste is of the same aromas.
Mouthfeel is smooth, sweet, and well balanced. Nicest beer out of a can I’ve had.
