 MMM...Beer (385), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
Sep 3, 2004
-Aroma: Elegant nose full of roasted malt and hints of coffee
-Appearance: Deep brown with a nice, thick, tan head
-Flavor: Again with the roasted malts and coffee with hints of liquor that welcomingly warm the belly
-Palate: Nice and bitter, as a SA should be, with a hint of spiciness
-Overall Impression: I was a little aprhensive of this one when I saw it on the menu, simply because scottish ales tend to be a hit-or-miss and micros. However, I thought this one was spot on.

Oct 5, 2008 On tap in Little Rock. Pours a hazy deepe brown with a small, off-white, fluffy head, that leaves a ring and decent lacing. Aroma of brown sugar, vanilla and peat. Taste is slightly astringent and dirty with wood and peat. Lively bubbles.

Sep 15, 2008 First semi-impressive beer I had from boscos. Rich malt profile is balanced with the hop flavor. Some smoke qualities as well.

Aug 25, 2008 Poured a dark amber color with a huge head. Smell is peat moss, malt and some smoke. Taste is smokey. Very good example of a scottish ale. My favorite draft of the night.

Jul 25, 2008 This must have been the bottom of the keg, because the pour was a very light muddy brown. Aroma of dark roasted malts. Medium light bodied with a minerally texture. Flavor of dark roasted malts and cocoa powder, with a slight astringent finish. Very dry. This needs a rerate
travita (800), Lewisville, Texas, USA
May 29, 2008 My favorite beer of the night when I was at Bosco’s. Dark red , hazy, with a good head and lacing. Smell is malt, peat, a little smoke, and a little hops. Taste is meaty, packed with malts, nuts, and smoke. Good body.
