Shared bomber poured to snifters with a ruby highlighted, dark brown tone, a modest amount of off white/light tan head foam, and spots & streaks of lacing. The nose was light toast, caramel, a bit of molasses, and resulting light, brown sugar sweetness. Medium bodied and well carbonated, the flavor also contributed light maltiness, just a touch of earthy rather than smoky peat, moderate hop bitterness, and well hidden alcohol. Crisp, with decent dryness to the finish. A drinkable, standard Scottish.

1 inch plus thick head of creamy and dense bubbles. Light malty aroma with some sea salt, a hint of smoke and some roasted grains. Color is a dark crimson brown. Very smooth and easy drinking. More malts and mild smoke along with a bit of dry grains. Rather bland flavor but still very smooth with nothing offensive. Mild alcohol presence. Brew is going down very easy and very quickly. Decent but a little lacking.

Bottle shared by Brad - how appropriate. The beer is chestnut brown with a half inch of beige head. The aroma brings light spice, brown sugar, malt, toffee, caramel. Pretty tasty beer. Light in body with a smooth feel. Drinks like a lager. Mild sweetness with a touch of fruit. Subtle notes of smoke. A nice, easy drinking Scotch ale. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 06-29-2012

Bottle. Pours clear dark brown with a large, creamy light tan head, long retention with good lacing. Aroma is a huge nose of chocolate, nutty, caramel, and biscuit malt, light fruity esters (dates) with faint earthy hops and some cinnamon/nutmeg character late. Flavor is malt dominant, light hops and bitterness, nearly imperceptible, with fruity esters and spices, and a medium sweet finish. Medium body and carbonation.

22 oz bomber from Spirits Crossroads. Poured a super super dark brown body with an average to smaller foamy light beige head. Aroma is all malts, earthy, peat, light chocolate, brown bread. Fuller bodied with average carbonation, big mouthfeel that is chewy, no heat. Flavor of very slight alcohol, peat, earth, nutt shells, dark fruits and figs. Solid beer.

Very good Scottish ale. Creamy off white head, some smokiness to the flavor. Aroma: caramel, roasty Appearance: dark brown, clear, rocky head Taste: medium sweetness, lightly bitter Palate: medium body, creamy, average carbonation

Reddish brown color with a small, creamy head. Aroma is toffee malt with a smoky bitterness in the background. Flavor is very creamy, smoky malt with a hint of dark fruit sweetness and chocolate. Full bodied and creamy palate with a soft carbonation and a long, malty finish. Really starting to like this ’My Turn’ series.

It was...delicious. Malty, very pleasing. I only had the one bottle and I felt very sad when it was empty.

From the tap poured a dark brown color with a fair amount of head. Light malty flavor with a quick finish.

Bomber poured a clear reddish brown with a lasting amber head. Aromas of carmel, toffee,light molasses and a hint of fruittiness. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of carmel, toffee, light molasses and a hint of fruittiness with a smooth lingering toffee finish.
