slipy120 (64), Michigan, USA 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. teamiouf (3), , California, USA 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. mcjay (301), Neenah, Wisconsin, USA 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. DWestrick (235), Ft Wayne, Indiana, USA Sep 20, 2008 tap - Louisville. very good beer! incredibly smooth and great flavor - an awesome beer on tap. very creamy head thick and overall a sold beer illidurit (851), Santa Cruz, California, USA 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.
beerchugger (285), Colorado, USA Sep 12, 2008 Updated: Apr 29, 2009Pours a reddish color with a thick and dense creamy tan head. The head remained throughout the entire drink. Smells of sweet malts and it tastes of some nuttiness and the malts. There are some decent hops involved that add a nice balance to this beer. Very creamy mouthfeel. Overall, a pretty nice session beer. hoplover (166), Corpus Christi, Texas, USA Sep 9, 2008 This was an amazing bitter. The beer poured a beautiful foggy light brown color with a hint of red. Smells of sweet malt with a pinch of hops. Well balanced flavor and aroma. The nuttiness is outstanding. Very smooth on the palate. Feels full bodied. Just a well balanced ale. AgentSteve (1334), SF Bay Area, California, USA Sep 9, 2008 On nitro, pours a beautiful ruddy brown with a bit more crimson in it. The nitro causes a cascading cream colored head that is like velvet that persists the whole time I drink it. The nose is subtly caramel malty sweet. The flavor is a bit more overt, with more caramel, but added to it is brown sugar and slight dried fruit. Clean finish and creamy mouthfeel.
