2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
(bottle) strong malty flavor and finishes with a slight smoked flavor at the end. In the middle, it gets a bit lost (bland), but its an easy drinking beer
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
UPDATED: SEP 4, 2010 On tap in Denver on 16th street someplace. Wow, what a blah beer. Malty, caramel complexion but not that robust in flavor, with a moderate palate, somewhat flat on the tongue (not for lack of carbonation) and having none of the flavor dimensions expected of a proper Scottish ale. // I had this in a bottle in MN, not realizing that I’d rated this before. And I was really unimpressed...the rating actually stayed the same.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at the Vine in Tempe. Pours a very chocolatey brown with no head. Aroma is of caramel and chocolate. Taste is bright and fizzy (a bit much for the style...like a lot) and caramelly. As the pint wore on, chocolate dominated the flavor in a big way. Not unpleasant, but not to style in my opinion. Still an easy drinking beer worth getting when the only other "craft" beers are fat tire and sunshine wheat.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a dark amber. aroma of molasses. Taste of molasses with a slight hint of pine. Good beer.
3.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Odell is dwarfed by the nearby New Belgium, but goes toe to toe in terms of quality.. 90 Shilling being my favorite. Easy to drink, thick head, beautiful dark amber color. I get hints of coffee and earth. Not nearly as ’uppity’ as many micro Ales. An everyman’s alternative to OB’s Old Chub.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Crystal clear amber body topped by a thin to medium thck head with some lacing. IT’s sweet and malty wtih a smokey/roasty peat note and a hint of candy sugar. Medium to full bodied and smooth.

Lots of kick to this one good flavor, overall pretty good smooth beer for enjoyment.
