On tap at CB Potts Westminster poured a clear dark amber with a lasting off white head. Aromas of carmel, toffee, light smoke and a hint of fruittiness.

On tap in Dallas, TX. Listed as Ducan’s Export 80 Shilling Scottish Ale. Pours with a dark brown body coverd by a small, light brown ring. Aroma of malts, dark fruits, peet, and something medicinal. Tastee is ultra medicinal with peet and mold. Dry mouthfeel. I am suprised that this beer was served at my table, it was horid and should not have made it into the keg. A major brewing screw-up!

This draft brew from the brewery in Indianapolis, IN poured a small sized head of foamy off-white colored finely sized mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a transparent orange brown colored uncarbonated body and a fair lacing. The aroma was very mild with sweet malty notes. The mouth feel was smooth and mildly tingly from start to finish. The medium bodied flavor was malty semi-sweet and was noticeably lacking in the hop department. All-in-all it was rather mundane and lacked character.

Draft at the dowtown Indianapolis, IN location. Small ivory fizzy head that mostly diminished, decent lacing, transparent, no visible carbonation, and an orange hue. Sweet, malty, caramel and a note of toffee in the nose. Flavor was caramel, malty and toffee. Tingly mouthfeel. Medium body.
