Pours dark reddish brown with a tan head. The aroma is dark fruit, smoke and caramel malt. The flavor is dark fruit, light smoke, roasted malt and some chocolate. The finish is slightly fruity with some smoke. A little bit of alcohol also appears in the aftertaste, but it is faint. Medium, somewhat creamy mouthfeel and low carbonation.

Jan 31, 2010 12 oz. can. Pours a very deep brown, but not quite black, with foamy brown-tan head which quickly is reduced to a thin veil. Malty aroma with notes of burnt sugar, chocolate. Taste is rich and smooth, with mocha tones and that definitive "scotch ale" flavor on the finish. Overall very good.

Jan 24, 2010 On draft at the Yard House in SA, TX. Dark brown body with amber/reddish highlights. No head as it arrived at the table. Malty, smokey, toffee, caramel and peaty aromas. Tastes of caramel, toffee, smoked malt, candied figs, burnt brown sugar and smooth, very slight bitterness (coffee-esque?). Fine carbonation, thin to medium body and a smooth, creamy mouthfeel. Alcohol mildly present in flavor. Dry, clean finish.

Jan 23, 2010 Fairly fruity malt aroma. A very malty, sweet, and lightly smoky scotch ale, with some nice hop bitterness in the finish. The flavors blend together very nicely, and yes, like everyone says, along with Oskar Blues’s other releases, these are the best beers you can get in a can. The question is why dont other brewers also use cans? They are lighter, more compact, and probably sealed better too. Can they affect the flavor? There is no problem with the flavor here.

Jan 23, 2010 12-oz can. Pours dark but not opaque. Small persistent head. Nicely coats the glass. A fruity aroma, apple, I think. Some caramel notes also present. Anise, too. Chocolate notes are milk chocolate rather than the sharper varieties. Excellent malty sweetness up front with medium intensity. Hops are subtle and finish cleanly. A very pleasant texture with medium body and a soft creamy texture: very pleasant. Highly drinkable. Overall a very pleasant beer.

Jan 17, 2010 Poured from the can into a pint glass.
The color is a dark red with a two fingers of brownish foamy head with a bit of lacing.
The smell is malty with some nice hints of dark fruits and some nice toffee and caramel flavor.
The taste is again malty with a bit of a chocolate flavor. Some creamy flavor that makes it a bit milky to be as well. Some slight fruit flavor with a bitter hop flavor in the background.
The feel of this beer is pretty light for what I was expecting and it really rolls off the tongue quite well. Not too heavy but surprisingly refreshing.
