Pours a very hazy murky brown color with some carbonation leading to a good, creamy tan head. Muted aromas of Caramel and sweet malts with hints of yeast. Disappointed at the subtlty of the aroma. Sweet caramel flavor with dark fruits and an extremely well balanced citrus hoppiness and roasted malts in the finish. Not an overly sweet Scottish with the hops balancing very well. This beer is so smooth to drink. The unexpected hoppiness leaves you wanting more.

Jan 6, 2009 bottle. Smells of old coffee and hand soap with a touch of peat.Taste is that of smoke, peat, caramel, and soap. alcohol is hidden pretty well, palate is ultra sweet and quite sticky. Somewhat cloying. a hair better than meh.

Dec 31, 2008 Darker brown with a big & sweet aroma that features lots of caramel, candy, and molasses in the nose. Flavor is excessively sweet with lots of ripe raisin, molasses, dark & sugary bread. Nice to try, but a bit out of whack - lots of sweetness that goes nowhere.

Dec 24, 2008 12oz bottle from Parti-Pak Liquors (Indianapolis, IN). Pours a dark brown to black color with reddish highlights. Thin off-white head that settles quickly. Aroma is rich and malty with notes of candy sugar, molasses, sweet chocolate, maple syrup. Flavor is also rich and malty with candy sugar, molasses, maple syrup and dark chocolate overtones. Medium to full body with a pleasing sweet and syrupy finish.

Dec 12, 2008 12 oz bottle, pours a dark brown, with red hues when held up to the light. Tan head that mostly dissipates. Aroma of dark fruit, malt, brown sugar, and smoke. Tastes malty, smokey, with a hint of chocolate and brown sugar. No real hop bite to speak of. Alcohol sneaks up on you. Overall, very good scotch ale.
