Draft at the brewery. Dark purple brown with little head, looks still, but has some rough, deep carbonation... comes across like a wee heavy, high gravity and thick and musty, with a peppery plum and wood flavor throughout. Rich and flavorfull, but not exactly put together well. Charred wood contrasts with the sweeter plum and brown sugar notes... interesting for sure, but the meaty plum flavors don’t exactly work for me.

Draught at brewpub. Very dark brown with almost no head. Aroma is coffee and sweet. Flavor is roasted and nutty, but also has some sour notes. Not what I think of when I think of a scottish beer (in my humble opinion, Thunderhead beers are almost always a surprise). Palate is thin, but almost without carbonation. Just okay.

On draft at the Chicken Coop in Grand Island, Nebraska. Came a dark brown color with a moderate light brown head that left minimal lacing. Nose was dark malt with chocolate and some coffee. A very rich mouthfeel. Flavor is nutty as well wtih a touch of smoke. Overall I liked it a lot.

Had a growler of this. Dark brown with a little tan head. Aroma is coffee and chocolate. Flavor is nutty, sour, some chocolate and roast. This tasted like a stout mixed with a flemish sour.

On tap at Crescent Moon Alehouse in Omaha, 2/4/06: Dark black with virtually no head and little aroma. I enjoyed the flavors at least ... sweet malt with a hint of smoke. Smooth and yummy. Is a bit thin and flat, however.
