bretupdegraff (236) - Fishers, Indiana, USA - FEB 22, 2009
poured dark and cloudy brown with a mild head. Aroma of malt and scotch. Taste is yeasty malty scotch - not as strong as most Scotch Ale’s that have had and this is a plus

islay (622) - Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA - FEB 16, 2009
11.2 oz. bottle. Fresh, yeasty, musty, wine-like smell. Plum and a touch of barnyard in the aroma. Pours an effervescent, brassy brown. Cloudy but mostly translucent. Short-lasting, fizzy, beige head. Brownie and chocolate candy flavors. Toasted malt finish. Light taste; not very substantive. Light body. Soft, lively, and frothy in the palate. Easy to drink. Does not stand out.

BillKismet (2652) - Seattle, Washington, USA - FEB 15, 2009
Gorgeous, rich ruby color highlighting the copious yeasties floating in the glass Adorned with a poofy head fed by the rapidly rising carbonation bubbles. Aroma characterized by mustyness, and European hops with a somewhat soapy quality; Despite the prevalence of yeast, this tastes malty like a Scottish ale with a dusted malt-ball quality. Deeply malty. Intriguing synthesis of Belgian and Scottish qualities. Yeast is pretty tame, but perhaps a hint of Belgian characer and a soupcon of peat.

nickd717 (3242) - San Francisco, California, USA - FEB 4, 2009
750ml bottle at La Trappe in SF. Hell of a Scotch (Belgian) Ale. Dark brown color, beige head. Yeasty and malty aroma. Caramel, toffee, and candi sugar flavors typical of a Belgian ale with the maltiness you look for in a Scotch ale. Smooth, tasty, and very drinkable.

Pyrozoid (352) - Gatineau, Quebec, CANADA - FEB 3, 2009
Bouteille de 750 ml. Dégusté avec french tickler, Agaguk et Django. Bière de couleur brune foncé brumeuse avec un mince collet moyennement collant. Odeur d’orange, épices, blé et sel. Gout très léger en bouche. L’orange revient en bouche, épices également.
