Nov 1, 2009 Bottle: Poured a deep copper color ale with a large foamy head with OK retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of sweet caramelized malt is dominating with light toffee notes and some lingering smoke. Taste is sweeter then expected with loads of caramelized malt and sweet toffee with a light smoky finish. Body is quite full with limited filtration and good carbonation with no signs of alcohol. Well done though a bit sweet for my taste – bonus point for the smoke notes thought.

Oct 30, 2009 Bottle ( 12oz ). Shared by garthicus with me and blankboy. Hazy orange-amber with an average frothy tan head. Aroma is sweet and roasty, citrus, grain and alcohol. The taste is almost sweaty-pungent, musty bitter spice balancing the sweet caramel. Slick, slightly boozy mouthfeel, weakly carbonated; pungently spicy in the finish. nice, weird, but nice.

Oct 28, 2009 Bottle thanks to Cletus. Pours hazy deep amber with a large yellowish beige head. Lighter than expected. This is more a "Scotch Whisky" ale than a "Scotch-style" ale... very peaty and smoky and earthy and a bit rubbery. Funnily enough, my reaction on first smelling it was "What is that?... Oh, it’s Scotch." Surprisingly, not as sweet as expected... in a good way. Nicely balanced. Unique and quite good.
