Commercial Description:
A rich malty Scottish-export ale achieves its deep tawny color through an extended boil period which caramelizes sugars and intensifies this beer’s complexity.

Again, not much aroma. Light orange-brown color. Malty, but well balanced. Flavor is undistinguished. Medium palate. Overall, fair. Not bad, but nothing special.

Pretty copper color. Sweet, malty nose. Sweet, malty flavor. A touch hoppy on the finish. Kinda light bodied, too. reRate, december 2005: Glowing copper body with a thin veil of white head. Sweet bready nose with lots of carmel notes. Chewy. Slick and ever so slightly sweet. Nice bready malt flavors and some really intresting earthy tones. Quite a nice version of this beer.

Malt, caramel aroma.
Very sweet taste. SLight hop bite in the end (noble again?). Very Scottish aftertaste.
Full bodied.

Sweet smokey caramel malts - thick, but floating in a watery base. Minimal hops leave it tasting soggy at the end.

Quick-dying foam, most of the aroma killed by smokey Ohio bar environment (not a problem in California). Slightly spicy, not so sweet on the front, lacks snap. No zippy bitter or peat element. Lightly effervescence. Lacks strength.
