Dark red/brownish head with a tan medium head. Stoutlike but spicy aroma. Raisins and alcohol, sweet taste of honey, sweet bread, some smoke aswell. Loving it.

wheresthepath (1285) - Buckinghamshire, ENGLAND - MAY 12, 2013
[330ml bottle from Westholme Stores] Black-brown with a large tan head and a light fizz. Coffee up front, then honey, chocolate, charcoal and a hint of health drink. Lovely relaxing late night beer maybe a little sweet and sticky by the end, but it does have the roast malt bitterness to balance. Lovely stuff.

Dark brown, small brown head. Strange, unusual roma of popy seeds, honey and cookies. Taste is sweet, alcoholic, cookie-like. Neat beer.

mcberko (4046) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - APR 28, 2013
330mL bottle at Brewdog Birmingham, pours a deep dark amber / near-black with a small tan head. Aroma of wet dog (?!), some dark fruits, and a little caramel. Flavour of caramel, dark fruits, and a healthy dosage of hops that feels out of place in a scotch ale. Medium-bodied for the style, without as much potency as I would’ve hoped for. Nevertheless, decent scotch ale.

Bottle. Clear copper liquid with medium to big off-white head. Aroma of biscuit, honey, floral hops, earth, toast and caramel. Taste is light sweet and light to medium bitter with notes of toffee, honey and bread. Medium bodied with medium carbonation. Quite nice.

allanbowers (92) - melbourne, AUSTRALIA - APR 25, 2013
Pours a very dark brown with a reasonably large head. This is quite fizzy. This is quite a bitter beer. It tastes like treacle. Boy you can taste the alcohol. Not one for a session.
