| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 4, 2007 12 oz. bottle. Pours a deep, clear ruby. Medium sized, light brown head. Aroma of sweet toffee, butterscotch, some fruit notes. Beer is pretty thick as it sits in the mouth. Flavor is sweet malts with some earthy notes. Very little carbonation. Finish is a bit of smoked oak that lingers for a short time. Not a fan of the style. Drink4Satan (586), Bristol, Rhode Island, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 3, 2007 Thanks to elmatador00 for this one. Pours a clear, deep ruby-amber with a small beige head with poor rentention and no lacing. The aroma emminates nearly a meter away from the glass, with sweet caramel malt, mollases , some dark pitted fruit and a touch of smoke n’ oak. The flavour was intensly malty and supported well by a viscous, creamy texture and soft, but present carbonation. Flavours of caramel, toffee, brown sugar, dried fruit, raisins, and oak make this brew very port-like. The hop presence is minimal, with only grassy, herbal notes distinguishable. The palate duration is a little short for how slick the mouthfeel becomes as it warms. JohnC (2281), Mission Viejo, California, USA

Tastes somehow strangely like a lollipop. Totally sweet but I like sweet scotch ales. High marks on this one. miketd (683), Cleveland, Ohio, USA
