Apr 28, 2008 Pours a deep ruby color with a decent tan head that sticks around. Aroma is vinous and smokey. Taste has wine-like characteristics as well, along with a sweet maple syrup maltiness and a peaty earthiness. Alcohol warmth evident after the swallow. Very interesting.

Mar 7, 2008 Poured a dark golden/amber with a short lasting white head. Aroma was of strong malt with hints of toffee and a hint of smoke. Taste was dominated by a camel tasting malt(crystal) with a slight roasted flavor residing in the after-taste. Clean finish and a real pleasant beer. I think drinking this one at a warmer temperature really brings out the flavor. Real good brew. One of the most flavorful Scottish Ales I have tasted. Would buy again.

Feb 26, 2008 Bottle from the brewery. Dark red brown with medium tan head. Aroma is very smoky/peety, dry, subtle juniper gin, very intereting. Smoky and herbally flavor with dry caramel malt and slight alc. Medium body and hotly carbonated. This is interesting but a little too much for me.
