Aug 14, 2009 Sampled on nitro draft at the Rivertowne Pub this beer poured a dark brown color with a large, very creamy off white head. The aroma was tangy, tart and a bit sweet. The flavor was tangy and bitter with notes of caramel, chocolate and almond. Medium length bitter caramel finish. Creamy smooth body. Solid.

Aug 10, 2009 One of the finest Scottish ales I’ve had yet, this pours with an attactive dark brown colour and a creamy, thick head. Aroma and taste show the malt content, but not too much to be unpleasant. Very nice to drink.

Aug 3, 2009 At Chriso’s Pre-GBBF Shindig ’09. Bottle, best before June 1994, perfectly acceptable. Brown. Sweet honey malt aroma. Sweet sugary taste. You could pour this over a creme caramel dessert. If you felt so inclined.

Aug 2, 2009 Pours a clear orange, very little foam. Aroma is yeasty with a hint of citrus. Taste is not as biting as I would expect from a Scottish ale, and a bit one dimensional. Good, but not as good as I anticipated.

Jul 31, 2009 16oz bottle. Pours a a rich deep amber body with a two finger white head. Aroma of rich fruit with sweet caramel, nuts and bread. Tastes as it smells with a light hop finish. Smooth and well balanced.

Jul 31, 2009 On tap at the Flying Saucer in KC. Pours a cascading, nitro induced body that leaves it with a clear, copper color. Finger-width, very creamy, beige head that never completely dissipates and leaves a lot of streaky lacing. Aroma is fruity with a mild toasty toffee. Not getting much else. Flavor is a little better with more diversity. Toffees, a touch of roast, some fruit, a bit of an earthy bitterness, nuts, and a light smoke. Finishes malty and smooth with a mild nut, semi bitter roast, fruity, smoke aftertaste for a moderate duration. Medium bodied and smooth. Not as creamy as I was anticipating, but smooth. Overall, a decent beer. Sweet with enough balance to get by, but underwhelming.
