Aug 29, 2009 Can via Hagen. Pours a clear copper with an average sized off white nitro head. Nose is sweet malt. Taste is toasted malts, caramel, pears, nuts, biscuits, and some herbal hops. Body is medium. Bittersweet finish/aftertaste. Reminds me almost of a scotch ale, although it is classified here as a bitter. Whatever, I have not had enough of either style to really make a call, but it does remind me of many of the lower abv scotch ales i have had.

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.
