Sep 4, 2003 This beer has a great initial aroma and looks great from the initial pour, all the way to the end of the glass with it's nice lacing. Having tried many "Scottish" beers while in Scotland, I can't say it's authentic, but definitely captures the best parts of a good Scottish beer. The taste was nice but not overly strong. The alcoholic heat is very nice, gentle, and is done to perfection. Overall a great beer and definitely near the top of my list.

Jul 21, 2002 Very hoppy cream ale.
Darker colour than I expected for the style, but this is an excellent beer!

Dec 25, 2003 It pours a nice copper hue, drinks easy, and finishes clean. All around good beer for a beef stew dinner. And it's a tiny bit stronger than some, at 6%. Very decent.

Mar 13, 2004 Dark orange amber colour with a creamy light tan head that lasts to the bottom of the glass. Spicy hop nose and some caramel malt. Flavour is well-balanced with an assertive hoppiness and some molasses and brown sugar sweetness. Lingering bitterness on the finish. One of the better products from this brewery.

May 9, 2006 Couleur cuivrée. Mousse de couelur cuivrée légèrement plus pâle, assez abondante mais qui se dissipe rapidement. Arômes de caramel. Effervescence très présente en attaque, mais la finale est plus ronde. Un peu d’amertume en finale. Goût caramélisé.

Dec 13, 2004 On opening a slightly spicey smell,mixed with a sort of "Cream of wheat"/ malt smellI ..love the colour.Like a dark tea in with a med off white head that disipates rapidly.
The taste starts slightly spicy and very malty,and smooth.finishes with a light hoppiness,finish is clean and dry but takes about 3 seconds to kick in after the swallow,again very nice.
Nice body,not mousey like some cream ales or tongue coating like others.

Jun 26, 2006 (Bottle) Thanks to Becky at the Vancouver Island Brewery for the sampler. I was pleasantly surprised by this beer - though it was a tad thin and over carbonated it had a pleasant and refreshing Scottish side amongst the caramel and roasted malt, much like a teaspoon of bourbon. Pours a medium almond-coloured head with a reddish-amber body. Dry finish.
