Jan 9, 2008 Tied this one at Meet The Brewer event at Green Dragon with Larry Pratt--Oaken version--Thin dark brown body with hints of chestnut. Almost no hear but decent carbonation. Sweet malty nose with nuttiness and buttery oaken flavors. Very unique beer. The oak adds a lot to the complexity.

Dec 18, 2007 Draft at the brewpub. Aroma of light smoke and roasted caramel. Dark, red tinged amber color with a decent white head. Flavor is roasted malt and light smoke. Medium body and medium carbonation. Flavor develops some balancing hop. Finish is pleasant.

Nov 23, 2007 Pours copper with a thin white head. I found this beer unbalanced and cloying. The sweet caramel body just had nothing to balance it at all. Lacked an earthy and spicy finish, which made it a bit bland of a scottish ale for me.

Feb 20, 2006 Full of caramel and toffee and not much else. A very light and very forgettable take on this style.

Jan 26, 2006 Bright caramel colour. The aroma is light, toffeeish and slightly earthy. Fairly light body has but a hint of maltiness. Altogether too quick and indistinctive.
