Jan 12, 2010 Heavy and sweet, which is typical for a Scotch ale; however, I don’t get a lot of caramel off it, or any toffee and brown sugar either. It’s dark, it’s sweet, but there’s a faint, almost unpleasant, medicinal or instant coffee edge to it. Maybe the bottle I had was bad, but frankly it tasted like carbonated Sanka, brewed in a bad motel kitchenette. Not enjoyable.

Dec 5, 2009 From a 12 fl. oz. bottle. Pours an opaque dark mahogany-brown with a bit of beige head. Aroma of yeast, malts, and caramel. Decent mouth feel. Flavor is both sweet and bitter dark chocolate with a good mix of malts and yeast. Very flavorful actually and always one of my favorites.

Nov 12, 2009 Aroma is sugary with notes of dark fruit and alcohol. Pours a dark brown with a nice thick head, which lasts for about 2/3 of the length of time it takes to drink the beer. Tastes sweet, malty, and a little boozy with hints of bread, figs, chocolate, and a bit of coffee--the alcohol is not overwhelming. Hands down one of my favorites, if not my single favorite.

Oct 6, 2009 dark brown with nice notes of caramel on the nose. A malty sweetness is heavy on the palate with some light cocoa and espresso on the long finish.
