A clear attractive red color witha foamy beige head. Sweet malty scent with some earthy, vinous notes. Bready with some light sweetness and an earthy mineral quality, not overpowering or over the top in any way shape or form, just a nice session beer. Nice dry aftertaste. If it isn’t Scottish, it’s crrrrrap!

Oct 3, 2008 Very enjoyable ale. Had a subtle sweetness to it that was very enjoyable that was followed by a slight bitter aftertaste. Good mouthfeel and aroma had hints of vanilla. Very creamy. A must try.

does not count  Sep 26, 2008 If you like the flavor of Newcastle then you will probably love this. It has a simular flvor but differances that make it worth being the first pick.

Sep 21, 2008 Updated: Sep 23, 2008Golden/copper color with a nice, creamy white head similar to that of guinness. Mild nutty, slightly sweet aroma. Extremely smooth and malty flavor with a light hop bite to it. One of the better scotch ales around.

Sep 19, 2008 Nitro tap at 99 Bottles in Santa Cruz. Light caramel color, good clarity, massive thick lacing, great retention.
Bread crust malt aroma, toffee, some fruit.
Flavor is of sweet bread, apple juice, a touch of peat, toffee, grass.
Creamy body with low carbonation. Smooth but not flavorful enough for the thickness of the body. Very easy to drink.
