TikiE (352), Sylva, North Carolina, USA Jun 15, 2008 Bottle: one of my favorite scottish ales! Pours a dark ruby color that is fit for a king. Full of malts in the mouth that lingers on the lips.

Pours dark copper, white head.
Aroma is fruity (apple), sweet.
Taste has some dark fruits going, very sweet, malty and nice roastiness. Nice caramel malts.
Full flavor, one amazing Scottish Ale, very enjoyable and drinkable. bellmyer (14), EAST MOLINE, Illinois, USA Oct 9, 2008 Growler from the brewery. 5 days old so it’s not as fresh as it should be, which is my fault. Pour is a deep brown with a moderate head that fades away into a ring. Aroma is malty with dark fruit. Nice smell. First sip is very sweet. Very smooth and very complex sweetness. Mouthfeel isn’t too thick, isn’t too thin, but is gone rather quickly. Still good. Solid brew. beerbill (1321), Laurel, New York, USA Oct 4, 2008 12 oz. bottle courtesy of my Summer Secret Santa. Pours a hazy dark brown with rusty highlights. Moderate off-white head disappeared after the first two sips and left spotty lace. Pleasant aroma of malt, brown sugar and dates. The flavor is sweet malt with brown sugar and a bit of earthy peat. Smooth with some caramel silkiness. Enjoyable. joefflin (66), USA Sep 29, 2008 Pint glass. Chumleys. I thought this beer was fascinating. It had a great smokey aroma. It was a dark brown hue but had a very thin head. Great flavor, had a smokey barbeque taste that was excellent, definitely a must. Rynoplasty (253), Louisville, Kentucky, USA Sep 23, 2008 Pours amber brown with a small off white head. Aroma and taste are big and malty.
