Jan 2, 2003 Very caramel flavor a touch hoppy but, finished with a nice malty flavor. I really liked this beer for the style...since it is not my favorite.

Aug 27, 2002 Head fades into nothing. Smells of Caramel with a slight hoppy assult on the nose. Slight burnt flavors along with a bit of coffee flavors and a malty finish. Not something you normally get in a amber but it really is good. To me this is, on a consistancy basis, their best beer.

Apr 11, 2002 Reddish brown hue. Aroma is toffeish, pretty sweet. Smooth on the palate, medium to full bodied with definite burnt roasted notes that carry a little nuttiness into the aftertaste. Toffee/caramel flavors and an apple/oak that seems to be consistent at thsi brewery. Not much bitterness in the finish, more of a roasted dryness. This beer won best Scottish Style ale at the 1994 GABF, and that makes sense to me in the style.
