Aug 27, 2007 Poured a deep, opaque, mahogany with a creamy slightly tan head. Smelled of peat moss, malt, brown sugar and candy. Tastes the same, sweet and smooth. Spicy finish. Good but not great.

Jul 26, 2007 Bomber. Pours brown with a sparse off white head. Smells of sweet malt and possesses some rosey qualities. Tastes of rich chocolate, some tame dark fruit and some sweet sugar. Mouthfeel is a little watery. Finish is sweet and has some coffee like qualities. Surprisingly balanced and flavorful for its ABV. I would have liked some peatiness in this but otherwise, it was well done.

Jul 23, 2007 Bottle; poured a reddish brown with very little off white head. Aroma was very fruity; Some light peat, toffee and caramel elements. Flavor was heavy on the malt; slightly sweet and got better the more I drank. Actually enjoyed this more than I thought I would. Quality beer.

Jul 19, 2007 22 oz bottle, thanks to skyhand! Pours darkly red and brown with little to no head. A sweet and fruity malt aroma is present. Toffee, a hint of chocolate, and a very small hint of peat malt are detectable in the flavor. A bit of bread dough also comes through the body. It’s a bit thin for what I would normally expect out of a Scotch style ale, but over all it has a nicely done fruit sense to it that is usually not detectable in Scotch ales. Enjoyable overall.

Jul 1, 2007 This scotch ale pours a medium brown color from a 22oz bottle. Small sized white foamy head. Aroma is brown sugar, molasses and maple. A medium bodied Scottish Ale. Malts are caramel, maple sugar, and toast. Hops are earthy and floral. Nice balance. Smooth taste. Just a hint of smoke. Nice beer. I really like this breweries “World Tour” beers. Wish I could get them on the West Coast. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.
