I try this ale years ago on tap and the bottled version, and I remember that it had a noticeable hop aroma (like all Antares beers) and perhaps a little too bitter to be a Scotch. But days ago I get a 660cc boltle in the supermarket and I was really impressed. No hop aroma. I finally found a great roasted malt aroma with some toffe notes. It pours with a good head that was in the glass all the way. Fantastic deep copper colour. The taste was surprisingly sweet as I expected from a Scotch Ale, with a noticeable hop bitterness only at finish. Rich roast malt an caramel flavors. Some alcoholic character. I enjoy it.

UPDATED: APR 2, 2012 Aroma dulce como a malta caramelo y levemente tostado, de color rojizo muy transparente y espuma de color levemente tostado. Sabor a malta con final seco como a caramelo tostado.

There is a very light aftertaste of oak. Soft carbonation, red colour. Nothing special - unremarkable scotch ale. 500ml bottle in Mar del Plata after hanging around teh Dakar 2012 rally opening.

Bottle at a tasting. Thanks eyes_wide_shut. Clear deep amber. Malty aroma with some soy sauce. Sweet malty flavor with some graininess, fruity notes and a slightly drier finish. Medium-bodied.

Poured from a large bottle into a glass mug to drink. The beer had a brown soda-like color with a lot of rising bubbles and a bubbly tan head that had short retention and little cling. The aroma featured heavy earthly malty tones with caramel and a good bit of grainy and perhaps pine hops. Its taste was somewhat sweet and malty, with a bit of grain and some molasses. The beer had good lively fizz on the palate and a medium-density with some dryness. One of the better beers I have had in Argentina.

Pours red amber colour with a tan head. Far malty and roasty aroma with hints of dry fruits. Mild malty taste, refreshing, light sweetness ans some very light smoky notes in the flavour. light body, oily feel, average to soft carbonation and malty, smoked and light bitter after taste. Good.

Bottle from Cervelar, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Rotting vegetable & malt aroma. Unpleasant malt, grass & vegetable flavour. Not nice.
