gearbike (413), West Bloomfield, Michigan, USA Sep 6, 2005 Aroma is unmistakably berry fruit immediately after pouring. Tastes like almost like a strong stout but with a much liter easy finish. shp555 (1677), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2005 Bottle. Pours black with a dark brown head.
Very malty sweet aroma, with hints of coffee. Roasted carmel and coffe with malts kind of dissapears in the after taste with a late malty sweetness. Not bad ontario102 (794), Boise, Idaho, USA Aug 31, 2005 Refined dark fruity flavor and pleasant smooth, roasty, oaty graininess; a hint of nutmeg, and a nice oily smooth palate; not overy fruity or spiced; very good, and it cured my sciatica. lamas (709), Adams Morgan, Washington DC, USA Aug 27, 2005 11.2 oz. bottle. Best before end: 04/06. A VERY dark mahogany pour with virtually no head. Roasty aroma that features some malts, chocolate, coffee and dark berries. Sweet, malty body that’s a little roasty. Some dark berries are present throughout. Decent body. A little grainy and oaty. Almost stout-ish. A pleasant surprise. MrWalker (927), Stockholm, Sweden Aug 23, 2005 Bottle @ Medelhavspärlan, Stockholm Backlog 17 Aug 2005 Burned bacon aroma. Black colour with off white head. Tastes of stout and dish water detergent. A realy off putting combination. Artifical and strange. An experiment gone completely wrong? roder60 (1019), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 19, 2005 Pours a jet black color with a small amount of quickly dissapating whitish head. Very nice coffee, roasted sweet aroma. Flavor is bittersweet, jamish, coffee with a dry finish. Overall, definitely my favorite of the scotish ales set. scotty (828), Scotland Aug 19, 2005 VERY dark, off white head fades quite fast.Lovely roast barley nose with fruit in the background ( this becomes more pronounced as the beer opens up) Remarkably smooth palate, with a good stout-like flavour, the fruit creeps up on the long lasting finish. Really didn’t know what to expect with this...it’s unique(as far as I know!) and delicious. Palidor19 (1750), Brandon, Florida, USA Aug 17, 2005 This is the first beer I ever had that the aroma overpowers the flavors, a fantastic aroma of coffee and Jam. Palate is a wee bit thin for the style this represents. coffee and a mild fruity flavor.
Very enjoyable though
