12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear rusty sunset hue. Nice off white head. Has an earthy, smokey, spicy hop smell... Scottish all the way.Medium bodied with a creamy mouthfeel, nicely carbonated. Beautiful lacing. Has a nice grainy malt, slightly smoked flavor. Slightly bitter to finish.
Not sweet, perfumy, nor tart; a real beer drinkers beer.A favorite of mjne back in the 1980’s

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 6, 2008 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! Bungalo22 (326), Bridgeport, Connecticut, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Jan 4, 2008 Decent aroma but a smooth yet slighly bitter taste, just not that flavorable. I honestly expect more but I would certainly drink it again. STEPHENDR (478), California, USA
