Sweet, roasted, malty aroma. Sweet, caramel, malty, toffee, honey roasted, flavor. Even a little bit of a tangy, mustard flavor w/some smokey peat. Reminded me somewhat of a Nut Brown or Honey Brown Ale. Very nice brew, you do get a little kick from the alcohol. beerabill (14), Silverdale, Washington, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 19/20 | Sep 23, 2006 On tap at the brewery, and in a grouler from the brewery. This one is a fine ale. Held up to the light, the color is brown diamond. Big tastey mouthfeel, with the taste of caramel honey malt. This is a strong scotch ale, but the aftertaste is smooth, and sweet. A regular friday night brew for me. Very good. unclejedi (2), Madison, Alabama, USA does not count | 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 4, 2006 Best Scotch Ale from my recent Seattle trip, sampled both on tap at the brewpub and from one of the bottles I brought home. Sweet caramal malt, pours with a light brown creamy head. Very smooth finish with a touch of alcohol. benpickens (135), Bloomington, Indiana, USA

Lacing is soptty. Woody, and fruity aroma. Raisons, pitted fruit, licorice. Flavor is similar, a bit vinous, lightly smokey, a bit sweet and of dark brown sugar, and plums. Some alcohol nets as well, but does not detract Thin but slick feel and fairly lively carbonation. JorisPPattyn (5175), Antwerpen, Belgium
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 19, 2006 Updated: Dec 20, 2007 Cask Dark brown; small brownish head. Licorice, dark malts, rather bready & hints of Belgian yeast; Sweet; little bitterness, rounded malt (dark) flavours, chocolate and green wood. Well-bodied, roasted but not smokey. Strange "Scottish" but pleasing brew.
Bottled version, thanks to DGS No idea I had had it, but nice comparison. Nose suggests moderate sweetness, bready, dark candi sugar. Dry, near piney aroma. Taste is more bitterish, with again piney flavours, very dry, near wry. Less liquoriceflavour. . Well bodied. Nice brew, botttled too. Why the Bastard fell, probably Stone can tell?
