| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Oct 20, 2009 Unpleasant fruity esters. Harsh medicinal fumes. Slight acidity. Spicy/herbal hops. Lightly roasted coffee flavor. Medium kilned caramel and semi-sweet chocolate. Burnt sugar aroma and flavor. A touch of cocoa. Bitterness of roasted grains. Thick malty aroma. This beer would have been a passable Scottish Ale had it not seemed like the brewing methods failed. Strykzone (1470), Wood River, Illinois, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 13, 2009 Thanks Hayduke! Dark mahogany in color with a nice one finger head than has good retention. Beautiful lacing. A sweet malty aroma is light chocolate with some oak. Flavors are subtle but nice. Malt dominated with oak, vanilla, and some background hops. It is a quality offering by Full Sail. Nothing big about this one but quality ingredients and craftmanship make this a pleasant beer to drink. BückDich (4832), McCall, Idaho, USA

The nose is malty with a rich caramel flavor, light earthy hops and toasty wood note. The flavor is earthy and deep with a sweeter raisin note and some additional caramel. The finish is lightly smoky with some additional maltiness and sweetness. Good scottish.
