Bottle courtesy of aplusbreaks. Pours mahogany with a thin white head. Smells of figs, raisins, earthy. Tastes chocolatey and lightly bitter with some caramel hints. Average.

Bottle. Pours clear amber brown with a medium beige head, good lacing. Smells of figs, caramel, and nuts. Medium-thin body, crisp. Malty flavor, much like the aroma, with just a little pine hop flavor and a mild bitter aftertaste. Balanced and drinkable.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a thick head, good retention, nice lacing over a clear light brown body...nose of roasted malts, with some coffee aromas, caramel....tastes initially of sweet roasted malts, then hops begin to dominate....mouth feel is creamy because of the lovely carbonation. The whole presentation was light for a Scottish Ale, but I think brewers hit what they were aiming for in a "medium bodied amber ale".

G.A.B.F. 2008: Deep copper with a tan head. Toasted and peated malts in the aroma- earthy with a brown sugar hint. Has a creamy feel. The flavor offers some cocoa, toasted hints and an earthy peat and mildly earthy smoky finish. Pretty decent.

Very, very dark in appearance. Extremely drinkable, yet very filling. Very thick off-white head. Smells slightly of caramel. Kind of a dry finish on the palate.

On tap. Pours a clear amaber color with a good size whiteish head. Smells a little of hops and burnt sugar. Tastes like it smells. Not bad not great.
