| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Jun 7, 2007 Strong caramel aroma. Maybe hop peaked through; or not. Copper color with a white head that rapidly filmed out, though it left hints of lace. Medium bodied. Pretty foamy. Starts a bit non-descript, but malt definitely shows up as the carbonation leaves. Which thins the body. Not really getting smokiness. Lightly hopped it is. Very. The finish is actually a bit dry, if you wait for the malt to drain away. It leaves a warm sensation in the tummy, but little, if any, bitter in the mouth. Sort of a standard alcohol scotch style, with perhaps standard malt, but it just seems a bit bland (to plagiarize from puzzl). Skyview (4090), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 21, 2007 Picked up a single 12-oz bottle via trade with Enniskillen. Pours a semi-clear coppery amber brew with a fast dissolving off-white head that has some good lacing and off-white ring. Aroma of oatmeal malt, some soy sauce, smoked wood and a touch of sweet red berries. Taste is medium bodied, very little carbonation with a caramel malt and dark berry flavor. Finish is semi-sweet, smooth and creamy with a slight scotch ale (peat/caramel malt) aftertaste. Didn’t quite lift my kilt but a pretty good scotch ale. beerguy101 (3971), Newark, California, USA

Nice balance. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is malty, smoky undertones. jerc (3954), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 11, 2008 2008-09-02. Headless copper brown body. Lightly roast caramel malt aroma. (6+) Similar flavour, moderately sweet caramel malt base, just enough bitterness to keep it somewhat balanced. Average plus palate is lightly carbonated. Not bad.

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 1/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Aug 4, 2007 This draft brew from the brewery poured a head of foamy finely sized bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a transparent uncarbonated golden brown colored body and a fair lacing. The weak aroma was malty and softly copper. The mouth feel was weakly tingly at the start and at the finish. The smooth flavor contained notes of malt and mild hops. A decent one that I would consider buying again. Braudog (3777), Dayton, Ohio, USA

Medium to harsh cooked sugars predominate with a middle of the road caramel finish. CapFlu (3491), Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
