Aug 11, 2003 Updated: Nov 5, 2007Draft... This beer rocks!... Sparkling clear copper brew. Very well-established, creamy, off-white head. Thick lacing. The aroma is of lots of rich malt with heavy notes of caramel and milk chocolate. Well-balanced flavor. Some molasses and caramel. Nicely hopped. Full-bodied with an oily mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Short, dry finish. World class ale!

Nov 28, 2007 The growler (courtesy hopscotch) poured out clear dark amber – garnet – brown with tan head and mild lacing. The aroma is mildly earthy, mildly smoky and contains some burnt malts. Nice yet mild. The taste starts with roasty malts and mild burnt malts that are only mild players in the flavor arena. Midway a mild smokiness pops up along with faint earthiness. Nice sessionable brew.

Oct 24, 2006 Brown colored pour with a tan head. Smell is rich, malty, some hops, sugars, and a nice little roasted flavor. Taste is smooth and rich, malty and creamy. Pretty flavorful. Not my favorite from the brewery, but it did a nice job, pretty good easy drinker, for 7.7% abv. Nice job.

Nov 18, 2007 Courtesy hopscotch. Pours a dark brown with a small, off white head. Smells of sweet dark malts, maybe just a touch of a little smoke in there too. The flavor was alot of the same, but had an added little mintiness to it. Very nice and refreshing brew. Definite clove presence along with other spices. Pretty solid scottish ale. I liked the uniqueness of it.
