UPDATED: JUL 26, 2010 Brown malty sweet moreish delicious. Aroma of raisins and dried fruits. Nicely balanced, very mild hop aftertaste. A bit of caramel too? A bit of whiskey in the alcohol taste, or just because I read it’s a Scotch Ale? :o) Good 8% beer, maybe like Golden Draak, but a bit weaker.
