Feb 4, 2008 On tap at Big River – Chattanooga. Poured clear coppery caramel with a light cap of beige head. The aroma picked up sweet caramel with a touch of molasses.. sweet overall and simple.. but decent. The flavor found very sweet toasty caramel at the core with a touch of smoke.. the back-end had thicker caramel and a little darker fruit.. also decent. A touch lighter than medium-bodied on the palate with high carbonation.. a little odd sourness rounded out the finish.

Dark amber, big tan head, toasted malt aroma, lots of sweet toasted malt flavor, touch of sweetness, more of a big viennia than a scottish ale<br />

sweet caramel aroma with a yeasty bread character, still lots of the toasted malt aroma and flavor from before, picking up much more caramel sweetness than before, nice biscuit in the final sip, this place makes lots of drinkable viennia ales with many names, <br />

Mar 13, 2007 A dark copper pour with little or no head. A mediciny bite with a raisin kicker not a lot of maltiness nor hops but a good flavor overall. Good carbonation and a prety good mouthfeel make it a solid palate.. Not bad for a brew chain Scottish Ale.

Mar 7, 2007 Draft at brewpub. Poured clear brown pour with a moderate off-white fizzy head that lasted and had good lacing. Solid toasted malt aroma. Medium body. Good toasted malt flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Good drinkable brew.

Feb 18, 2007 Draught. Pours a light red hue. The aroma is certainly akin to a Scottish ale, though rather generic. Notes of peat, caramel, pipe smoke are detected though mostly a sweet malty aroma dominates. The body is almost sticky with a fairly smoky, nutty finish like toasted almonds perhaps. Mild notes of rose and peat turn up in the sweet flavor. Pretty average, sweet, malty beer. Drinkable.
