Apr 4, 2007 Updated: Jun 10, 2007330 ml in pint glass pours a gorgeous, uncloudy mahogany with red tones. Small, light brown head settles to thin film with sugary lace. Aroma is a deliciously spiced date-raisin liqueur aged in oak, then baked in a bread. Flavor is the same, with some chocolate spice cake added to the front for good measure, and perfect balance of bittering hops finish that lingers in the aftertaste. Medium-bodied, with an overall dry palate that balances the rich flavors well. Excellent beer.

Apr 3, 2007 11.2 oz bottle. Poured a dark brown with a small off white head. Not getting the complex aroma that all the other raters experienced but all I could detect was some sort of metallic smell. Flavor didn’t seem to be impacted by the aroma though as it tasted fantastic. Full mouth feel with an initial sweet flavor that was reminiscent of honey that finished into a nice toasted malt.

Mar 29, 2007 Bottle. Nice creamy, yellowish head on top of the mahogny beer. Strong raisins aroma with hints of chocolate. Chocolate flavours, countered by fruit, mainly raisins, but still remaining quite bitter. Dry mouthfeel, full-bodied. A beer Scotland can be proud of.

Mar 25, 2007 11.2 oz bottle. Pours into my English pint a dark brown with a lasting tan head. Big, sweet malty nose, some dark fruit and a touch of nuttiness. Big, rich, sweet malt flavor, very complex, with nuts, chocolate, dark fruits and a touch of smoke. Bitter nutty finish with a small alcohol hit. Very good!

Mar 24, 2007 My bottle poured w/ virtually no head, a ruby tinted dark choclate color. Lightly fruity nose, cherries, with alcohol and toasted malts. The flavor is very smooth, toasty, chocolatey without being very bitter. It’s lightly sweet. Has a lightly syrupy body. Very friendly. I think mine was a little old. The palate and flavor seemed just a bit watered.
