nick76 (2634), Tampa, Florida, USA Jan 12, 2009 The aroma is malty with caramel, cereal, and hay. The hops are there I think but very subdued. The appearance is amber with a small head. The flavor is like then aroma with a cereal finish. The palate is thin but OK. Overall I like it. jjuf1853 (467), Land O Lakes, Florida, USA Jan 12, 2009 On tap at International Beer Garten (Lutz, FL). Pours a clear amber color with a beige head. Roasted caramel/malt aroma and flavor. Slight bitter aftertaste. Highly carbonated. GodOfThunder (855), Orlando, Florida, USA Dec 30, 2008 Clear amber. Smells malty and biscuity with not too much roasted taste or smell. Somewhat bitter and malty. Smooth. EithCubes (2140), Indiana, USA Dec 27, 2008 Bottle. Stale old caramel malt and stinky feet with earthy toffee and some flat tire air. Weak amber pour with a noisy beige head. Taste has grape notes and a strong grainy aftertaste, reasonably dry with a little peat and earthy near-smoke. Occasional flashes of raisin sweetness. Body starts light but sticky and actually seems rather full after some volume. Not as bad as I think, I keep telling myself. BeerFanDan17 (610), Land O Lakes, Florida, USA Dec 27, 2008 Nice and smooth Scotch style ale. Nice balance of malt and hops as well as a touch of caramel. Draft. badwhale (51), Bitterville, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 26, 2008 bottle to mug. previously "tainted" with hoptical illusion...
pours amber with a nice head. No lacing. sweet taste mixed with alcohol. Overall pretty good.
JMFG (1514), Florida, USA Dec 22, 2008 On tap @ Ravenous Pig. Clear amber color, thin short-lived white head. General mild malty and grainy aromas, a little sweetness. Taste was more akin to a weaker Scottish ale, malt-focused and slightly sweet. Pretty mild and forgettable. Palidor19 (1750), Brandon, Florida, USA Dec 12, 2008 nice and malty, lots of caramel with a harsh mouth feel still lots of taste and some piny hops, very good one to enjoy
