12oz bottle. I like the alcohol content on this, complements the Scottish ale beers. Aroma is weak with fruit, rye, hops and malt. Dark red poor. Thin bodied flavor of sweet malts. Average quality beer.

On tap at Redlight. Pours a deep reddish brown with a thick creamy head. Fruity citrus malty aroma. Big malt caramel more hints of fruit and very thick tasting. Finishes malty and thick with just a hint of chocolate. Very solid session beer.

12oz. Bottle: Faint aroma of light fruit, light rye, slight malts, slight hops, and some rye. Poured orange in color with a medium-sized, dense, beige, head that diminished but lasted throughout. Clear. Not sparkling. Flavor is lightly sweet and lightly bitter. Tastes of malts, chocolate, slight strawberry, rye, light medicine, and slight molasses. Medium body. Average texture. Average to lively carbonation. Malt and rye finish.

On tap at Red Light. Dark red.pour. Very sweet and malty. Smells a bit like mollasses. Reminded me a bit of candy sugar. Pretty syruppy .

On tap at Redlight. Nice deep red color, thin white head. Sticky hop character backed by sweeter malt notes. Taste is thin, on the bland side, mostly earthy hops and slightly sweet malts. Definitely more of a Scottish to me, and certainly did not taste like 10%. Seems like that should be a mistake.

draft @ redlight redlight. Sweet malty aromas, sweet fruits, with traces of vanilla. It pours a very rich red color with a very thick fluffy white head, a beautiful looking beer! Extremely sweet and malty, sweet caramel, vanilla, traces of spicy hops in the finish. I could use more hops to balance this one out, its good, but a little too sweet for me.

Pours a pretty cherry color, smelling of vanilla and slightly astringent. The thin mouthfeel tastes oaky and full of vanilla with just a slight cherry cough syrup flavor. Not bad.
