Malt aroma. Dark red coloured strong in alcohol and rich on the palate with a slightly dry crisp whisky malt finish.

Nov 2, 2008 Sample at the brewpub. This beer is a dark brown color with a thin and rocky white head that burns away pretty quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel and candied fruit as well as some malt. Flavors of caramel malt and toffee along with some sweet fruit. The finish is smooth and sweet with a caramel malt aftertaste, along with a touch of hops. Overall this is a unique take on the style, and it is a pretty good beer.

Oct 15, 2007 Now we are talking. This beer has a bold caramel aroma and flavor. Body is full and rich. Creamy smooth mouthfeel. Very nice and balanced beer with lots of flavor.

Nov 5, 2006 Draft at Wynkoop. Coppery shimmer to this. Nose is malty, caramel, light spice notes and toffee. Taste is malt, fruits, light hops, and caramel. Body is light-medium with relaxed carbonation. Bit of dryness in spots. Finishes with more sweet maltiness, caramel, light hops and fruit notes.

Oct 15, 2006 Draught at the brewpub. Clear garnet color with a thin white head that didn’t leave any lace. Light malty caramel aroma accented by a whiff of alcohol. Slightly sweet on the tongue with a touch of roasted malt. Carbonantion was on the low side which was a bonus.

Oct 2, 2006 On tap at the Wynkoop Brewery 9/27/06. Very clear, light amber color. Thin, light tan head. Aroma is light caramel and toffee, very light hops. Flavor is malty, toffee upfront with a smooth bitter finish. Palate is a little thin. I don’t think they’re using scottish yeast on this....would be better if they did. Overall, a nice beer--good flavor/aroma, but a little dry in the finish.
