Jun 22, 2007 This Scotch Ale pours a deep brown color from a 120z can. Large sized beige foamy head with good retention and long lasting lacing. Aroma is dark malt, chocolate, toffee and caramel. A medium bodied scotch ale. Malts are chocolaty and fairly sweet. Hops are earthy. Lots of chocolate flavors and some dark fruits as well. Nice carbonation just enough to help balance the sweetness. Nice beer in a can. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is sweet.

Mar 15, 2007 What a shocker for a can, great pour. Deep dark color with big head. Nose of dried fruit with a hint of spice. Flavor is toasted coffee up front with mellow sweet dried fruit then folds into a little hop finish.

Sep 10, 2009 Dark coffee color, tan head, which starts off medium thick and thins quickly. Aroma of dark roasted malt, resins, and alcohol. Flavor is dominated by sweet malt, followed by roasted malt, and there is a chest and stomach warming alcohol. Great character overall to this beer - very enjoyable.

Oct 10, 2004 Updated: Dec 12, 2004GABF, can. By far my favorite Scotch Ale in a can. Clear amber color with a nice light tan head. Aroma is a bit light of toasted and roasted malts and a light smokiness. Taste is of light malted milk balls more smoke and just a touch of peat. Nice hoppiness and light grains taste.

Jan 23, 2006 This just blows me away that this brewrey churns out consistently great beers in a can. It must be because the succeeded so well with their stuff in bottles, and then just just transfered that knowledge into a can level product. Rich deep brown, with big malty aromas and flavors. Chocolate and caramel, a bit of honey, and some sweet almost floral hoppiness. Perfectly roasted with a nice smooth mouthfeel.

Dark brown colour. Smokey, cheesy aroma, bit sweet. Fatty mouthfeel. Bit smokey in flavour and big malty. Classic Scotch Ale with a cheesy backbone. Big flavour-big finish!

Oct 27, 2007 Black appearance with a burnt white head. A bitter butterscotch flavor up front with a chocolaty finish. A very good session beer.

Nov 28, 2005 8%? Who knew? A pleasant not-quite-surprise of a beer. My complaint is that the the body seems slick and smooth instead of soft and rough. Not to say it’s light-bodied, but the texture doesn’t quite jive, somehow. Other than that, hides the alcohol well, presents a well-balanced display of peat, some strawberry-like acidity. Plenty of brown bread and caramel goodness, some strong chocolate, and the slight hint of smoke to round it off. Very nice. Pours mahoghany with a creamy tan head.
