Pours a clear dark burnuished copper ale in the glass with a frothy 2 finger cap that retains well and laces.
Sweet malty aromas on top of musty over-ripe fruit tones with a slight smoke to it...delectable authentic scotch ale smells!
Medium-full body, fair malt spine, silky mouth feel, sweet roasty character.
A lovely dose of sweet toasty caramel malts in the front...little hop balance but the yeast fruity notes with the peat smoke give the mid palate a musty-fruity- toffee decernment....finishes wet and slightly warming with a sweet after taste.
A fair stab at the Scotch ale style, drinkable and malty.

Toutefois, pas désagréable et l’arôme de la levure RJ sied bien à cette bière. unibrouefan (124), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada

Brown color beer, but looks like any other brown beer. Clear aroma of malt. This beer taste Maple syrup and Caramel. I really like it. Boutip (2390), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Jan 20, 2006 Bottle: Poured a clear medium brown color ale with a huge bubbly slightly off-white head with average retention. Carbonation is quite low and body is a bit thin. Aroma of caramel malt is easily identifiable and quite enjoyable. Taste is also dominated by quite sweet caramel malt with a very subtle bitter ending. Again, the fresher the sample the better this is since it seems to be declining quite rapidly once it hit the shelves. Quevillon (1536), Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec, Canada

Une bonne écossaise réchaufante avec un arome légèrement épicé. Mais ce n’est pas quelque chose d’extraordinaire! Lubiere (4551), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Jan 14, 2006 Ambr orange ale with a light off white head. Wet straw aroma with cranberries. In mouth, like a sweet lager, with light fruity notes. More like a Vienna in mouth. Overcarbonated, unbalanced and way off style. Tasted 28/01/05 at Institut Scotch Ale tasting. blankboy (3250), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Nov 21, 2005 Bottle shared with HogTownHarry, GregClow & tupalev. Pours a clear ruby with a small off-white head. Strange aroma of sour apples, soap, caramel malt and spices -- weird. Flavour of caramel malt, sour apples again and dark fruit. Syrupy body. Not very good, I much prefer their ’Escousse’.
