On tap at Mahars. Poured dark brown, no head at all. Aroma is very yeasty and sweet. Flavor also very sweet, but tasty all the same. It’s very much like a weak barley wine.

[Bottle from Gothenburg System Bolaget] Plummy sweet malt nose, slightly spicey, toffeeish. Pretty sweet, medium bodied, not enough hops to offset the sweetness.

Bottle. Deep reddish/chestnut color with a beige head. Nose is sweet, tinny, well rounded and mild. Flavor is also mildy sweet, vanilla, malt, slight bitterness. Nice mouthfeel, bubbly, not overly thick. Nothing remarkable, but decent for sure.

Bottled, in Sweden. C0lor of storng tea. Smells of flowers and candy. Sweet taste, too, with a port-like finish. A fine ale.

Bottle. Amberish in colour with a medium sized head. Malty and sweet with notes of cinnamon and maybe a hint of hops.

Appearance: Pours a rich caramel bronze chestnut color that sits nobly in my snifter with a perfectly majestic creamy tan head. The beer leaves heavy sheet of lacing on the side of the glass when gently swirled. Smell: Caramel malts, figs, dates, a hint of apple and oak are truly sensational. Taste: This is exactly what I expect from a Scotch Ale. It is sweet thick and lightly boozy with earthy peat flavors caramel malts a splash of prune juice and an ever so light dry hop character hidden in the smoke attribute. Mouthfeel: Perfect smooth velvet feel with adequate carbonation and ideal finish. Drinkability: As much as I love this style it is usually cloyingly sweet or prohibitively alcoholic. This one is neither. It is one of the most drinkable of the style. Hope this is helpful. Cheers!

Aroma is spicey and sweetish. Taste is lager malts like a bock with cinnamon Scotland can do better.
