| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | 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.

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. Joakgust (337), Stockholm, Sweden
