Dec 16, 2009 Pours a deep ruby red with a medium head. The aroma is chocolate some mild fruitiness and some smokiness. The flavor is earthy with chocolate and some nice bitterness. The sweetness is there but it is well controlled and there is plenty of roasty maltiness. The palate is viscous and smooth.

Dec 2, 2009 Shared 12 oz. can. Poured a brown/ mahogany with decent, light tan foam to the head and spots and streaks as lacing. The aroma offered up a touch of grain, malt and brown sugar type sweetness, caramel, and alcohol presence. The flavor was similar, with the sweetness remaining, along with a low hop bitterness and light finishing dryness. A decent, drinkable Scottish.

Nov 30, 2009 Can. Pours a murky red-brown color with a nice thin tan head. Taste is of caramel, roasted malt, chocolate, some alcohol, some smoke and some coffee. Similar aroma, but more alcohol is noticeable. The body is very creamy. Best when it is cold. Is very easy to drink considering the alcohol content. A very enjoyable beer overall.

Nov 29, 2009 Pours like Coca-Cola, tan head, from the 12oz. can into a plastic cup at Juno Beach, West Palm: The cough syrupy nose is a tad off-putting. Brown sugary overtone throughout, followed by toffee, caramel, milk chocolate and butterscotch. Flavors are similar, but more balancing than I expected on the overall mouthfeel. Drinkability: Liquid candy that can fuck you up... can a beer’s description get any better? Unfortunately, I don’t have much of a sweet tooth. Rebuy: Probably not. #234 on 29112009, DG.
