Apr 26, 2005 Pours hazy brown with aroma of roasty malt, chocolate, nuts, scotch. Tastes malty with a chocolate, scotch, slight nutty finish. Pretty good.

Aug 8, 2004 Updated: Jan 24, 2006Had this at the Bier Garden in Portsmouth VA on 8-7-04. Reddish brown body with almost no head. Nose is malty and sweet with hints of caramel and brown sugar. Taste is, again, malty and sweet with some hints of chocolate coming out. Mouthfeel is a bit thin for the style but it is pleasant enough to be enjoyable. Not as rich as I’d hoped for, though. Finish is also sweet but there’s a weird paper-ish taste coming out in it.

Mar 16, 2006 Thanks to Ryan for sharing this at HWOH. Again- this one is 8.5%, not 6%. Pours a deep amber with ruby highlights and a thin head. Aroma is sweet with lots of caramel malts, and hints of burnt wood or peat. Flavor is a bit astringent but sweet upfront and malty. Kind of sour in the end actually- and finished dry and woody.

Jun 9, 2003 Dark Copper and a head that disappears quickly. Spicy, buttery aroma. A little peppery, and some smoke in the flavor, as well as a touch of fruitiness. Pretty not bad.

Jul 15, 2004 dark red color with a head that goes away very quickly. smell is very malty and has a slight hint of chocolate. taste is also very malty, not much hop presence in this one. a very nice scottish ale, but this class is really not something i go for, because i am more of a hop guy than a malty guy. nice brew though.
