Jan 18, 2008 Unlike any ale from Scotland that I have ever tried. Scotish ales tend to have a slight bitterness under the flavor...but this ale is very unique. Very crisp aroma....sort of a fresh spiciness (slighty floral, or maybe earthy is a better term) with tones of corriander, malt and another spice that is very similar to Grains of Paradise. The flavor is just as complex....a plethora of spices, particularly corriander (of course, since they brew with it!) as well as allspice, maybe a hint of something like Grains of Paradise. Also a nice malty backbone, not too roasted, but not too sweet...it complements the spiciness very well. A very unique beer that is worth at least one try.

Jan 13, 2008 Bottle (purchased at the brasserie): Clear, deep amber colored, smaller tanned foamy head, sweet dark and toasted malt in the nose, underpinned by coriander; solid sweetish flavour, quite full bodied, soft creamy MF; strong malty finish with heavy influences of coriander. Good, spicy and well balanced brew..........

Jan 3, 2008 Pours very very dark, opaque, nearly black. Almost no head in this bottle, and very little carbonation. Very faint aroma of maple syrup. Marvelous, rich flavor which is very delicious yet refined.
