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.

Jan 17, 2008 12oz bottle acquired in trade with ogglethorp (thanks!). Poured a medium and clear mahogany color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of earthiness, light smoke, leaves, roast, and caramel. Tastes of lighter earthiness, toffee, and roast.

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!

Jun 27, 2008 The body is dark copper brown and red. The aroma is toasted nuts and smoked malt. There is also a little bit of caramel. This is a sour nasty brew, not sure if this is the way it’s supposed to taste. The taste has some smoked malt and nuts behind that sourness. I wanted to say thanks to iowaherkeye for sharing, but maybe I should insult him instead?
