Sep 20, 2008 Sour, rye, and hops dominate the aroma on this reddish brown pour. It has a nice roasted, peat malt flavor that is complimented by a certain amount of sourness.

Jul 1, 2006 Bottle: Special Thanks to skoisirius for the trade. Pours a clear maroon with minimal head that fades rather fast. Aroma is of malts, caramel, maple syrup and a bit of liquid smoke. Taste consists of nice maltiness with a nice caramel backing. Including a rather light carbonation with a light fruitiness. Palate is slightly bitter and quite carbonated. Overall, Decent scotch ale, nice rounded flavors and enjoyable palate.

Oct 26, 2008 Pretty good. Nice balance. I get a little roastiness instead of sweet which is good in my book. I like the ABV, not to high.

Feb 5, 2001 Thought this ’wee heavy’ was just a tad too ’wee’ and not enough of the ’heavy’. Nice copper color; thin head which quickly dissipates due to the appropriately low carbonation; a very subtle smoky malt flavor dominates; on the sweeter side but not syrupy or cloying at all; very smooth texture. A good Scotch Ale with no real faults, but just a bit light overall.

May 22, 2004 Subtle malt aroma. Great balance throughout and hides the alcohol quite well. Not quite as big or as malty as I expected, but good all the same.

Jun 27, 2007 Bouteille 355ml, courtoisie de Hogtownharry. De couleur ambrée rouge foncée et très légèrement voilée. Nez de malt du genre caramel sucré légèrement rôti avec de petites notes de toffee, léger de houblon herbeux et terreux ainsi que des notes de noix, fruitées (léger de pommes aux notes cidreuses, notes de cerises et de raisins) et de fumée. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture crémeuse. Goût malté légèrement fumé (pois, petites notes de tabac et de bois fumé, présent en arrière-goût toute la gorgée) avec de petites notes fruitées (raisins, cerises, pommes aux notes cidreuses) et des traces d’épices (gingembre) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût malté légèrement rôti de caramel sucré, terreux et léger de toffee (faibles notes de butterscotch) parallèlement à un goût moyennement amer de houblon légèrement herbeux (petites notes citriques) et en finale l’on retrouve de petites traces de noix asséchantes ainsi qu’un léger regain de goût de fumée (pois). Post-goût moyen et aux notes sèches, moyen-léger amer de houblon herbeux accompagné de notes fruitées (pelures de pommes).
