Bottle - A clear medium brown body with a tightly bubbled and lasting head atop. A deep malt aroma. A bit of chocolate and roast. Caramel, lightly toasted grain and a hint of smokiness ... but I think this is a good thing. The finish is also that of deep, rich malt. I’m not a huge fan of Scottish ales, but this one is nice.

Oct 5, 2008 Pours a ruby copper brown with a one to two finger frothy light tan head. The nose was malty, a little raisiny, peaty, some grassy hops, sweet malt.The flavor is malty, peaty, some grassy hops, chewy bready feel, raisiny, some alc showing, mild sweetness. Chewy crisp mouthfeel. In all actuality not that bad.

Sep 19, 2008 A decent interpretation of a Scottish Ale, but could be a little more complex.

Sep 8, 2008 bottle poured a red amber color with a one finger off white head with decent retention. aroma has a malted body with clove, mild citrus hops, metalic, and oddly earthy moss. mouth feel is light with lower carbonation. flavor is malt sided with a bit of metalic, again earth, and bitterness. seems a little muddled and perhaps is not the freshest.

Jul 19, 2008 Bottle - 355ml. Dark amber body with a good beige frothy head. Nice sharp hoppy aroma with oaky and flowery hints. Its hoppy taste is well balanced, but could be more complex. Ends with a decent bitter finish. Enjoyable "everyday Ale".
