Jan 16, 2008 On draft at OB brewpub. Color is that of a blended scottish ale and brown ale, whatever color that would be. Aroma is amazing, with a malty, smokey, hoppy, chocolatey mix. One of the fullest bodied beer I have ever had, it just sticks to your bones. Taste is pretty much the same as the aroma. Alcohol content is hidden nicely and tends to sneak up on you (especially in the Rocky Mtns.). One of my favorite beers, excellent recipe formulation.

Nov 13, 2009 First off I want to say that I am impressed by this beer. I kind of got myself psyched out by all the reviews I read on it and was not sure if I even wanted to try it. I’m glad I did and I like this ale. To the nose is sweet and earthy, I can really detect the roasted malts. It’s a dark brown w/amber hues. It goes down smmoth w/a slight alcohol burn, I detect a little carmel and maybe sweet fruit, maybe raisans? Overall I’m sold on this beer.

May 18, 2008 My favorite Scottish ale. Pours a very dark brown with a dense head. Great caramel malt tast with a hint of smokiness. The finish is smooth with a hint of hops that nicely balances the malts.

Aug 20, 2008 Can: pours dark brown with tan head that retains. Man this is a good beer. Caramel, coffee aroma with a hint of smoked malt. Taste: I love the sweetness of this and how it is the strongest taste. It consists of a smoked caramel taste with a slight vinous feel. Light carbonation which add or subtract to/from your preferred palate . I think the light carbonation makes this ridiculously drinkable and uh, my head noticed the 8% alcohol.

Aug 9, 2009 I’ve never been that into scotch ales, or anthing that appears to be one, but this one is pretty damn impressive. Pours dark and smooth. Very strong aroma of smoked malts. The flavor has quite the kick to it. Caramel and roasted malt. I questioned the whole beer out of a can thing but I’m glad I tried this one.

Aug 15, 2008 Cola-colored brown with ruby highlights. Nice off-white head that diminishes to a small ring. Smells of big, sticky malts - caramel, peat, smokey wood, and a touch of alcohol. Flavor is more of the same plus stout-like roasted bitterness and coffee in the finish.

Jun 13, 2009 Updated: Aug 8, 2009Rerate: On tap at the Tasty Weasel in Longmont on 7/16/09. Pours a nice dark copper-brown. Incredible caramel aroma that carries into a nice malty sweet flavor. Touch of bitterness on the tongue, then a wonderful sweet caramel finish. Very smooth drinkable brew.
