(Draught) Sampled at the brewpub on August 11, 2006. Pours a near headless brown body. Nose is mildly roasty while the flavour is only mild. I am not a terribly big fan of Scottish Ales (for that<!-- i -->see Rastacouere<!-- /i -->) but I recognize that this recipe is far less intense and less malted than most any Scottish Ale I know of?

Red brown, creamy lacing head. Herbal, licorice and roasted aroma. Fruity malt body, herbal, slightly green notes. Good body. Sugary and leafy aftertaste.

A very, very, very good beer, and brewpup/restaurant if you happen to visit Victoria, B.C. This was my favorite after a 5-course beer tasting and dinner.
