| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 21, 2008 Draft at Pike Pub & Brewery, Seattle, WA. Tan head that was mostly lasting, very nice lacing, no visible carbonation, transparent, and an orange hue. Nose was malty, hop notes and a pinch of smokiness. Flavor was sweet, malty and hops. Smooth mouthfeel and medium body. Was looking forward to this one for the style, but ended up disappointed with the flavor. Needs some umph added to it. cblado (147), Wisconsin, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 15, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a deep ruby with slight head, looks delicious. Aroma is floral, hint of berry perhaps. Flavor has a robust malty nose, but finishes rather mildly. I could drink this all day, honestly, because it feels much lighter than it is. All in all not a bad little souvenir from my trip to Seattle. ratman197 (3189), Arvada, Colorado, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 10/20 | Dec 21, 2007 Bottle poured a clear reddish amber with a lasting amber head. Aromas of carmel, tobacco, light fruitiness and hints of leather and peat. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of carmel, tobacco and brown sugar with a smooth finish. Not a bad beer but not as flavorful as I expect a Scotch ale to be. Angeloregon (2025), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 17, 2007 Pours a dark amber, slightly brown-copper body with a minuscule head. Bold and sweet Scottish with smokey peatiness and a hint of whisky in a rather mild strong ale (if this is possible). Solid brew. douglas88 (1580), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 16, 2007 Updated: Aug 6, 2008Bottle. Pours a dark amber with a decent head. The taste is: some hops, a caramel and malty semi-sweetness, and a smokey burnt flavor. Smooth and medium body. There is no more than a hint of scotch or the 6.6%. A good one. riversideAK (2685), Shoreline, Washington, USA
