UPDATED: FEB 21, 2010 Draft, served in tulip glass. Sweet caramel and yeast aroma. Dark brown amber body with medium head that thins quickly and lingers, nice lacing. The flavor is overall sweet due to the Belgian yeast, with light caramel and malts. well balanced and smooth with hints of spice and citrus. A finish with a nice warming power..

Had this in summer 08-tap and growler. Hazy amber brown pour with small off white foam head. Dark fruits and malty sweet aroma carry into the pallet with an earthy grain-hop texture. Some pepper and spicy notes, smooth with ABV well blended in.

Cask on Lancaster Brewpub. Pours a mud colored brown with a creamy tan head. Aroma of fruity ale esters. Medium bodied with creamy and chewy texture, soft carbonation. Flavor of wet grains, brown sugar, and plums- with residual sweetness. Tobacco and small amount of pepperiness on the finish- with detectable alcohol that blends in. This has some phenols that are similar to ones found in Belgian quads. Interesting
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft @ BCTC. Pours a dark, murky brown color with golden edges; thin off-white head. Tea, brown sugar, basic wet malts and cereal in the aroma; kind of bland, cereal-dominated. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: chewy caramel and brown sugar maltiness upfront; nicely chewy, dense maltiness; toasty grains; slightly heavy and dense on the palate; reasonably big scottish rendition. Lengthy finish: brown sugar, toasted malts, cola, and dried dark fruits.
