Jan 31, 2009 Updated: Feb 2, 2009Very nice. Kind of an old ale. Dark hazy copper. A touch fruity in the nose but it moves on to a chocolate/caramel flavor. I was hoping for a dark rummy raisiny flavor but it wasn’t there. Still It was nice. Very smooth mouthfeel, rounded with light carbonation. Nicely heavy without overwhelming the palate. Plenty malt forward, with just a touch of leafy hop, without being overly sweet.

Jul 15, 2003 All around good beer. Great balance of hops, sweet malt and roasted/smokey flavor. Nothing is overpowering in this ale. Would definitely get this one again.

Dec 26, 2007 Shared a bottle with 3 others. Nice reddish brown color. Tastes a bit like a Heath bar, only not as sweet or chocolatey.

Jul 26, 2008 Lakewood, Oh. - Rozi’s Fine Wines - 12 oz bottle, Murky dark brown pour with a quickly fading off-white head. Heavy aroma of figs, toffee, a hint of chocolate. Flavor is hearty with raisins. toffee, figs, a hint of chocolate in the back end. Very tasty, chewy, complex, but deceptively drinkable. Mouthfeel is thick, creamy and coats your mouth. Excellent, as is most from this brewer.

Nov 24, 2009 355 ml bottle. Hazy dark mahogany. Medium-sized thick creamy light beige head that clings to the glass. Feels thick and rich. Carbonation level is fairly low and the beer has high viscosity. Rich caramel flavours with toffee and chocolate. Thick and oily texture. Notes of paper and candy sugar. Sweet, but not really that sweet given the otherwise rich and viscous beer. Very tasty.

Jun 13, 2003 Somebody has got to be kidding, I'm with MartinT on this one. This is one of the best Scottish Ales I've had. Brown colored with a head that crosses the glass, transluscent. Aroma of malt very similiar to an ESB. Carmel flavor with enough bitterness to make it more than one dimensional, but not enough to dominate the malt character. Bitter, dry finish, excellent beer!

Oct 26, 2008 A dark reddish brown ale with a thin creamy reddish moka head. In aroma, a woody vinous aroma, licorice, lactic acids and butterscotch, rich and pleasant. In mouth, a sweet caramel, licorice, raisins, alcohol warmth. This bastard is classy, rich and complex. Early 2007.
