Dec 27, 2001 Nice cloudy ruby appearance with a decent head. Thick and chewy Scottish ale with a light but tasty peat smokiness and heavy caramelness. Tasted some apple wood as well? 22oz bottle was not enough.

Dec 3, 2008 Pours brilliant rosy amber with thin white head. The aroma starts with a pulse of cherry fruitiness quickly followed by a mix of roasty – nutty – earthiness. The taste begins with solid roasted malts leading into cherry and plums and then more cherry hard candy. It heads toward the finish with moderate fruitiness mixing with roastiness and nuttiness and crystal malt goodness and a mild background of earthiness. Very nice.

Pours amber/brown, with beige head.
Aroma is loaded with nice fruit aromas and malts.
Taste is sugary and fruity. Plenty of nice caramel malts with a nice light hoppy finish, but remains sweet.
Just an amazing scotch ale.

Aug 7, 2008 Updated: Aug 27, 2008Well, despite this beer showing "retired" and having no reviews since 2004, my bottle clearly reads "70 Shilling Scotch Ale" so I’ll stick my review here.
Pours a deep, deep copper with a small bubbly tan head that dissipates quickly to a collar leaving sporadic lacing. Aroma is dominated by sweetness with caramel malts, toffee and dark fruits, but there is a hint of citrus hops in the nose as well. The taste is a more toasted version of the smell with big sweet caramel malts and dark fruits playing big roles. Again, there is a slight hop presence in the background but not enough to leave more than a passing bitterness in the finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with strong carbonation that tickles the tongue with the sweetness that dominates the taste. This is a very good scotch ale and one that I would seek out.
