Off taps Capital Ale House. Slight aroma of carmelized malts. Clear amber brown with very small white fine head. Malty flavor of caramel malts with a touch of raison, fruit, and earthy hops. Medium light body. Finish is fairly dry with a bit of residual sweetness and a bit of the hop bitterness. Extremely drinkable

pint bottle into pint glass. Dark nut brown (a little bit of red) with an off-white head. Smells really yeasty and grainy, like cereal. Tastes thick and malty and grainy with a warm whiskey finish. Medium to heavy bodied on the palate - nice and rich. Overall: good beer, cool style.

Tap at Black Cat Pub, Lido di Jesolo, Italy: Hazy dark red coulered brew from Scotland. Malty and fruity taste and very dry bitter finish.

Bottle @ Bishops Arms, Karlstad. Good scottish ale with a sweet malty flavor of dried fruits and some smoke. The taste is special, I would say - and it’s quite good too!

Dark red appearance, faint malty aroma. Sweet english malts in the flavor, some smoke, dark fruits, and caramel. People complain about the thin body but it seems medium thick and smooth to me. goes down easy with a touch of english hops in the finish. Pretty nice!

Gift from pop sampled with Stego. Dark amber pour with a malty and smoke aroma. Sweet malt taste with a mild hop note and a bitter but perfect blend finish. Really good.

Dark amber with good, creamy tan head / Sweet dark fruit and caramel nose / Medium body, syrupy and sweet malts with good finish / Flavors of figs, dates, caramel and molasses / A little one note, but very good.

Local supermarket in Seattle. Pour in Trappist glass at room temp. Color of furniture polish, wet leather. Off-color head receded quickly. Scent of raisins, alcohol, figs. Hints of apricots. Taste of fermented fruits, smooth, complex malt base, deep alcohol warming. Finish of sweet caramel. Full mouthfeel. Richly satisfying.
