May 24, 2008 16 oz can thanks to kyzr: Pours a transparent copper mahogany with ruby hues and a spotty-lacing off-white head. Semi-dry aroma of sweet toasty dark caramel with a touch of peat. Body starts with about average thickness and some lightly sweet caramel notes before a thinner, semi-dry finish. Could use a little more fullness and peat character, but a decent Scotch ale.

Apr 20, 2008 On tap at Kettle House. This dark brown ale poured with a decent tan head and a smoked malt aroma. There is a slightly sweet malt flavor with lots of smoke. Very drinkable.

Apr 12, 2008 1 pint can from kyzr. Thanks Mitch. Pours a clear deep mahogany color with a large creamy beige head. The aroma is caramel, earthy, and light fruit. The flavor is caramel malt, light smoke, earthy. The fruits come in lightly near the end. A little thin, but very drinkable.

Feb 27, 2008 Poured a clear copper color with an off-white head. Sweet malt aroma and flavor otherwise this is kind of bland. Hint of smoke.

Feb 18, 2008 From the can. This was a really nice scotch ale, while not as bold in flavors as something like Skull Splitter, this was a very well built sessionable scotch. Subtle smoke and earthy caramel flavors balanced out by a fruity and peaty finish, delicate hops balance but don’t distract from the malts which are the real stars of the show. This beer could really finds its place in the PDX market, there aren’t enough good scotch ales here. This is what I want when i’m camping.
