| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 15/20 | Sep 14, 2007 A so so Scotch ale. Aroma was weak but had hints of dark and roasted malt. Pour was a breathtaking dark ruby with a nice 2 finger off white head that appeared a couple seconds after the pour. Taste was smoky and sweet with a bitterness in the aftertaste. The sweet came from caramel, syrup and butterscotch. The bitterness resembled dark roasted malt in the end. I would have rated this a lot higher had it had decent carbonation. tbookman (618), Ephrata, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 11, 2007 Dark brownish/ruby color - big aroma of roasted and sweet dark malts. Flavor is sweet and rich, with notes of brown sugar, syrup, licorice and a slight hint of smokiness. Finish is a little dry and sticky. All in all a nice, bold scotch ale. maniac (2628), Richmond, Virginia, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Sep 4, 2007 12oz bottle. Pours an ugly red brown with a small off white head that quickly settles to a tiny film. Sweet aroma, malty, maybe a touch of smoke, raisins, brown sugar, toffee, caramel, wood, maple syrup. Some piney hops. Taste is smooth, a little bitter, with the dark fruits being the main thing here. Sweetness is surprisingly low, which is a good thing I think. Drinkability is higher than the aroma and ABV would lead you to believe. One of the better Scotch ales I’ve had. jrob21 (1257), Atlanta, Georgia, USA

Requisite sweetness and massive malt flavors. Subtle candi sugar in the flavor as well. Paired nicely with the cheese and sausage platter with got as an app. Definiitely enjoyed this onen but I am pretty partial to this style. Kinz (2200), Glen Allen, Virginia, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 2, 2007 Thanks to maniac for this one. Deep amber, floaties, little head. Deep caramel aroma, hints of molasses. Flavor is fantastic, deep caramel. There isn’t much else to this, it is simple, but great. Papsoe (14881), Frederiksberg, Denmark
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 2, 2007 (Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of markgugs. Clear, reddish brown with a yellowish brown head. Fairly complex aroma of rum and overripe fruit. Has a nice, full body with notes of nuts, overripe fruit and a rather hoppy finish. Complex and very interesting. 230807
