A good strong dark malt smell with the scotch in behind it. Very dark and full of sediment. The malts come on strong and then mellow out as the scotch flavour comes in and lasts for much longer than most beer would. Creamy and smooth. Pretty good, but the scotch ale just isn’t my favourite combination.

Jan 1, 2010 12 oz. gift bottle from LCBO. Nice copper colour, slightly cloudy appearance. Aroma of forest or PineSol furniture cleaner. Tastes like I imagine the latter would. Hard to rate because probably good of its kind, but I personally hate it. Finding it more tolerable as I drink it, but still dislike. Your mileage may vary.

Jan 1, 2010 Odd. Tastes like the bizarre product of a mating between an ale and a bottle of Pine-Sol. Piney scent and oily mouth-feel, which adds to the impression that someone poured me a glass of furniture cleaning product and topped it off with beer. Drinking it was sort of interesting but not an experience I’d particularly care to repeat.

Dec 31, 2009 Bottle to chilled pint glass. Small head with good lacing. Cloudy light amber color. Caramel malt flavor and light hop flavor. You can obvioulsy taste the pine, but its a nice balance.
Medium body with a slick finish & average carbonation. Pretty good.

Dec 26, 2009 This was an amber pour with a medium sized white head and moderate lacing. Nose is of pine and floral hops. Medium mouthfeel and body. Flavor is full of pine and the finish is spicy.

a great spring/autumn camping/outdoors (pine forest) session beer with a lot of interesting character, an occasional beer that would loose it’s unique charm if drank too often.

Dec 10, 2009 Poured from bottle. Poured orange copper color with average head. Fruity aroma, some banana, slightly floral. Very unique taste. I definitely noticed the pine notes, but it still retained the fruity flavor as well. Different, but very good.

Nov 30, 2009 (bottle) Hazy, orange to copper colour with a medium-sized tanned foamy head. Moderately sweet and (initially) slightly acidic fruit-accented aroma of berries and pears, accompanied by a distinctive flowery and almost ethereally and resiny piney touch. Sweet and slightly bitter flavour, medium to full bodied with a soft, almost creamy carbonation. Solid (cara-)malty base with light fruity notes and a blink of alcohol; dry-out effect towards the resiny spicy and malty finish with a tinge of alcohol coming out of the mask. Enjoyable and warming brew. 30.XI.09
