Commercial Description:
Unlike the lighter "Scottish" ales, this is an authentic heavy Scotch ale. It is lightly hopped with a strong malt character, and a hint of peaty smokiness. Warm fermentation produces fruity esters and balances the sweet malt character.

Pours brown/red. A very mild aroma. Smooth on the palate. A little smoke note, was hoping for a little more smokiness. Piney hops. A little dry, a little sweet with a short finish.

Bottle. Pours amber with medium white head. Aroma and flavour of toasted malt, molasses and a hint of peat smoke that’s subtle but enough to be noticable which I liked. Great balance and smooth malty finish. A tasty scotch ale.

Drank more like a Vienna Lager than a Scotch Ale, fairly mild and lighter than it should have been. Amber copper color with a thin head and solid lacing. Malty aroma of caramel and sweet bread. Flavor follows suit with a minor earthy taste. A tad thin for what I was expecting. Average beer.

Reviewed 7/24/2009 (bottle): Cloudy brown color body, small off-white head, quickly diminishing. Malty sweet aroma, syrupy. Earthy. English malty taste, biscuity. Sweet, but not syrupy. Scotchy taste, maybe butterscotch. Not bad, not too headache inducing.

Deep copper, with almost no head. I had high hopes for this. Medium body with minimal hops. The finish was a bit sour.

Bottle from Whole Foods Arlington. Very light brown pour. Maple, raisins, prunes, and malt aroma. Taste is malty, dry, and dark fruits. Finish is great.

Nice peated malt aroma. Auburn color. Pours with a small head. Clear with small bubbles. Lightly carbonated, (just right!). Peated malt, bready taste with just the right amount of earthy hops.
