Caremel malts, nice bitterness, round in mouth. Fine example but lacks hopps.

Bottle: Drank during the blackout on my way to the Oktoberfest. Thin and watery, draft at the fest was better.

Bottle in Cossab, BsAs - Thankfully not like most other "Scotch" ales in that it’s not smokey or phenolic - or, at least, not overpoweringly so. A rich red colour, it has the usual toffee-maltiness of the Irish Red style with additional bitterness and lots of complexity and flavour. The finish is surprisingly bitter and toffee/malty - it’s quite unclassifiable to me, but still an excellent drinking beer.

UPDATED: JUN 3, 2009 Bottled at Cossab, Buenos Aires. Clear nut brown. Aggresive plastic phenols kicks me in the nostrils. Sweetish with clean, rounded mouthfeel. A bad surprise knowing that their oatmeal stout is very good. If you get beneath the phenols there might be a good beer down there, but who knows?

Bottle- November 2006. Pours a nice clear copper color with a medium whit slightly tan head. Aroma is yeasty and caramelly. Taste is bittersweet, some burned malt. Medium to light mouthfeel, short aftertaste.
