Draft at the brewpub. A knockout: dark ale, thin head, great lasting lacing. Sweet, malty arorma; rich balanced flavors, easy on the hops and not sugary. Awesome.

Deep copper body and mild carbonation. Nice Scottish malt aroma. Great flavor. Fairly sweet, malty, toffee and candy sugar flavor. Just plain delicious. Very smooth palate. The flavor grabs you and immediately pleases the taste buds but never really reveals a great deal of depth. Still, this is candy for grownups.
