May 30, 2009 Awsome complex aroma. Soft malts, slight nutty fruit and a definite warm port scent. Reddish brown and poured what could barely be called an off white film for a head that momentarily holds on to the edge of my glass. Small floating sediment. Beer also has a somewhat cloudiness to it. The flavour consists of a bready bitterness, soft fruit that ties into the mild port-like taste, and an undertone of bisciuts. The complexity of the taste really kicks in when it warms up. This beer would’ve been even better if not for the mouthfeel being soft and slippery.

May 22, 2009 Deep, reddish brown appearance with a small, off white head. Aroma takes off in a few directions, including sweet malts, figs/dates, toffee and alcohol. Woody, peaty taste with caramel, ripe fruit and butterscotch. Moderate spicy hop profile adds balance and depth. Note of chocolate in the aftertaste. Full-bodied mouthfeel. Smooth, rich, complex and enjoyable. Finish lingers for quite a while.

May 17, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark brown w/ a light off-white head. Smells almost like wine on the pour. Definite hints of fruits, particularly grapes but very nicely balanced with a nice hoppy edge. Nice on the palate, hits it in all the right places, goes down nice. Medium bodied. Very enjoyable

May 14, 2009 An oaky beer, but balnced by nutty maltiness. The finish is acidic and makes you want to keep drinking more. A great beer. Scotland will continue to be a place to watch as their beers are finally showing up more and more here in the sates.

May 14, 2009 2 year old bottle. I’m not really a fan of English ales but this one surprised me. A lot of flavors in here, with malts, dark fruit, oak, and maybe some sweet chocolate or caramel. Well done and more complex than I expected.
