3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Malty, caramel notes in the aroma Medium amber color. Soft smooth texture. Malts, a little earthy. Lightly sweet. Easy drinking but not a session beer. Sits very nice on the palate.

Deep amber. The nose is great here showing cigar box. The beer also shows a distinctive black tea flavor on the palate. The problems lie in the watery, somewhat flat mouthfeel and short clipped finish. Big points for uniqueness, takeaways for mouthfeel issues.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours amber/chestnut color with a medium tan head. Aroma is odd...hard to describe...a mild musty, peaty, fruitiness and a bit of nuttiness. Flavor is even more nutty with an earthy, butter hoppiness that cuts through mild frutiness. Mouthfeel is light/medium and silky with a bitter, nutty finish. Odd...tough to describe and different.

Found on draft in Denver airport. Deep red pour with a thick off white head. Smooth malty body with caramel and hints of smoke in the taste. Malty, earthy hop aroma. Decent brew.

UPDATED: JAN 11, 2012 Like an American claiming to be Scottish, but, as it turns out, only has a great great great Grandfather who once went on holiday to Edinburgh. Doesn’t make you a bad person (in fact this one is quite nice), but you’re not quite who you say you are.

A full-bodied amber ale with a great texture and a good crisp, clean character.

12 ounce bottle, best by 3/14/12. Served in a pint glass, the beer pours a slightly hazy dark amber color with about an inch light tan head. Head retention is decent, and there’s a good amount of lacing. The brew smells like caramel malt, toffee, nuts and some bready malt. Taste is similar to the aroma, but there’s the addition of a bit of dark fruit. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it’s a bit coating and it’s also well carbonated. Overall I think it’s an OK beer. It’s worth trying, and I wouldn’t turn one down.

From bottle. Brown with quickly fading head. Malty flavor with little hop presence, true to style.
