Chocolate at first, but in the aftertaste something sweet and vinuous -- brandylike I think. Very interesting, smooth and drinkable. Cornfield (4981), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA

It pours out kinda like old motor oil, deep, thick brown with a slender light brown head. The predominant aroma is a sweet maltiness tempered by mild hopping topped with a smooth whiskey smell. The drink is rich, large with malts, and has a satisfying whiskey finish that helps satisy two drink cravings at the same time. It tastes like it should have a stronger abv than it does, which makes the drink all the more satisfying. You can enjoy a few of these without keeling over.

Taste was malty with a bitter smoky finish, as one would expect with a scottish ale. Good but not something I could have more than one of at a time. MrBunn (1566), Western, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 14, 2006 Great roasty, chocolate aromas with some coffee undertones. Body is dark brown with a very minimal head. Flavor is about like the aroma with a bit more fruity tones than expected. It all blends with a nice roasted aftertaste that finishes well.

Sweet Aroma. Medium bodied, roasted flavors, chocolate, dark chocolate. Nice. Bockyhorsey (2561), Mesa, Arizona, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 29, 2009 12oz. bottle. Sweet on the nose like a dopplebock till that subsides and roasted malts arrive. Black body looks like oil with chcolate milk colored head. Flavor is sweet to start with but as this warms a mild chcolate presence is there with a real good roasted malts flavor. Some sweeteener lingers a bit on palate along with some dry coco good brew.
