(Canned) Clear, very dark red with a small, lacy head. Caramely-malty aroma with somewhat burned feel. Very smooth, lightly burned flavor with some starchy-grainy feel. Medium-bodied with medium carbonation. A decent scotch ale, but nothing very special.

Jul 5, 2008 12 oz bottle from Pizza Port bottle shop Carlsbad: Deep burgandy color with a small, fading tan head. Aroma is sweet chocolate and caramel. Flavor starts rich and malty with caramel, a nutty note, a little raisin, a hint of smoke and a light bitterness in the finish. Medium body is creamy with soft carbonation.

Jul 4, 2008 Can, totally surprised by this one. Got the 6 pack for free and assumed it would be something cheap. Loads of malt aroma. Great malt chocolate taste. Incredible. Caramel and its creamy mouthfeel make you feel like you’re drinking a beer milkshake. Great

Jul 3, 2008 Pours from the can - go figure - a dark brown with a nice head that reduces but remains for the entire experience. the lacing on the sides of the glass is perfect. A thick scotch ale that feels like it is textured on your tongue. Strong flavor of toffee and roasted malts. An excellent, excellent scotch ale.

Jul 3, 2008 Pours a dark brown with a white head. Smells sweet, chocolate, coffee and bourbon. Taste is silky smooth, with tobacco, smoked peat, chocolate, coffee, and the alcohol tastes like a scotch ending. Very smooth and dark. My only two faults are that I wish it didn’t smell like a porter and that the head was larger/lacing present. Pretty good though.

Jul 3, 2008 Pours cola brown with tan head. Aromas of caramel and chocolate. Flavors of sweet roasted malts with a touch of coffee and alcohol. Sticky yet creamy mouthfeel makes this very nice going down. Medium/full body with slight carbonation. Another great beer from Oskar Blues.
