Very little hopping in this one. Nice and malty. Mmmmmm. Go get some now! oh6gdx (9109), Vasa, Finland

Flavour is toffeeish and roasted malt. Very dry palate. Aftertaste is roasted and licoracyish. Pleasant. Bigsilky (322), Charleston, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Apr 10, 2006 Great beer. Very suprised to have this out of a can. It actually tastes lke McEwans that hasn’t been oxidized. Maybe fresh this is what it would be. Aromas of marshmellow and cherries leap out of the mahoganey brew with a slight smokieness. Wonderful to drink and tough to put down. The malt body is chewy till the end when a ballanced hop dries it out to a crisp finish of tofee and peat. I’m a big fan of the style and this is one that will be a new favorite. doublebock (198), USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | Jun 24, 2008 Strong burning maple alcohol malty aroma. Deep dark color with thin lace. Solid malty flavor though a bit flat. Great smoky burnt finish with subtle hopiness. Best beer from a can on the market. Goodgrief (1161), Middletown, Delaware, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Feb 18, 2008 Foam rose out of the can upon cracking open. Pour was dark with reddish highlights, good head and good lacing. Aroma was light smoke. Flavor was smoke, some earthiness, some toffee. Sweet, but not overly so. Mouthfeel was moderate, with increasing carbonation as it warmed. For a stateside Scottish Ale, excellent. I’d put it a behind Belhaven Wee Heavy a bit, but other than that, good stuff.

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Aug 28, 2006 Pours out of the can dark brown with a medium tan head. Molasses, prune, raisin, roasted nuts, and some earthy spice all contribute to an inviting aroma. Mediu to full body that is smoot and luscious. Sweet caramel flavor that is nicely balanced by some peppery hops leading to a surprisingly drier finish than I would have expected. Another winner from Oskar Blues. oldrtybastrd (1846), Morlautern, Germany/Great Falls, Montana, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 11, 2005 Pours a nice dark brown, almost black. Aromas of chocolate, with hints of nut and smoke. Flavor is a nice creamy chocolate with a bittersweet aftertaste. This is one hell of a beer. morrdt (609), Jacksonville, Florida, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 5, 2007 Can at the local watering hole. Wow, a very different kind of beer. Pours from the can a dark brown color with a tan like head. Heavy scents of roasted malts and a touch of caramel and chocolate that carry over into the flavor of the beer. This beer kicked ass.
