| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Jun 17, 2009 Bottle. Thanks to gnoff. Cloudy brown colur with a beige head. Aroma: malty, roasted, licorice, hops, mint/menthol, maybe just a light fruitiness. Taste: malty and roasted, very salty and peated with notes of licorice, salmiac, coffee, hops, mint/menthol, dark chocolate. Smooth and full bodied mouthfeel. I would have liked a bit more sweetness and fruitiness. scrizzz (1269), kirkland, Washington, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 16, 2009 PPRBSG09 brought be Notalush I think. Pours a hazy deep amber with a thin lasting beige head. Aroma is lots of deep caramel, toasted malts, toffee, brown sugar, fruity esters, and light roast. Flavor is also fruity esters, big malts, toast, lgith roasted malts- nuts, almonds, cherrywood, and earthy hops, leather, toffee, and sweet licorice root. Mouthfeel is fairly big with a smooth finish. Pretty good for a big scotch ale. KnutAlbert (3127), Oslo, Norway

Fluffy tan head and rings of lace. Light coffee, toast, and woody notes. Finish is dominated by dark fruit, caramel, and big toffee notes. Not quite as peaty or as earthy as I would have liked for the style. ketchepillar (480), Viña del Mar, Chile
