CaptainCougar (4476), Wauwatosa, Wisconsin and Atlanta, Georgia, USA May 10, 2008 Pours a transparent copper ruby with a spotty-lacing light tan head. Aroma of sweet toasted caramel malt with some doughy yeast character. Body starts fairly full and caramely sweet with some biscuity notes and bittering hops before a drier finish. A decent Scottish ale. unclemattie (1419), Georgia, USA May 10, 2008 ATLBeerDog’s 100th rating. 12oz bottle. Pours medium brown color. Sweet malty aroma, not much hop aroma (good), or smoke (missing). Flavor has a bit of nutty caramel. finishes light. shp555 (1216), lilburn, Georgia, USA May 10, 2008 Pours an amber brown color with a white head. Aroma is malty, smoky, peaty, and some peppery hops. Flavor is malty, toasty, peaty, and a peppery finish. ATLBeerDog (108), Atlanta, Georgia, USA May 10, 2008 Pours a beautiful rust color that is extremely clear – not much head with average lacing and below average carbonation. The dominate smell is rich malts. First taste is light, sweet, with a not much body at all. It is followed by a light bitterness. hopscotch (4214), Vero Beach, Florida, USA Apr 19, 2008 Growler... Cloudy amber ale with an orange hue and a small, creamy, white head. Toffee notes fill my nose at first, then toasted nuts and milk chocolate. Medium-bodied with fizzy carbonation. Well-balanced flavor. Lengthy, sweet, malty finish. Very drinkable! A big THANK YOU to DragonStout for sharing this Scottish ale with me!
