| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Aug 2, 2008 Updated: Aug 3, 2008Thanks to AMC3000 for the bottle. Pours a very dark brown with a small light tan head that diminsihes quickly and leaves a ring of head around the glass. The aroma is a sweet caramel malt with dark fruits. Decent lacing on the glass. The taste is roasted malt with coffee and spicy finish. Waited a long time for this beer and was definitely worth the wait. An impressive Scotch Ale from Saint Arnold. bhops (334), Dallas, Texas, USA
