Definite unique smoke flavor, heavy body, no noticeable alcohol overtone as I’ve often had with American made Scotch Ales. Probably the most enjoyable beer I’ve had in or out of a can.

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome! What a great beer! I really enjoyed trying this one. In fact, I wanted another as soon as I finished. I was really surprised to get such a great flavored, nice body beer out of a can!

355ml can from The Beer Cellar. Scotch ale in a can, how good is that. Dark copper colour, light brown head and a strong caramel nutty aroma. The flavour hits all parts of the mouth and is quite rich and smooth.

Great malty perfect for winter. High abv but you would never know. Darker then most scott style ales.

From the 120z can --- can made no difference in taste as far as I’m concerned. From the first pour into a glass this ale is alive with seductive aromas of scotch whiskey and toffee. Some scents of a creme brulee on the nose. Plenty of smoke and bitters all put together in a creamy body of liquid perfection. Man, this one’s good! The 8% is hardly felt on consumption.

Beautiful, oh, my yes. Some sediment; been aged a month or four. Lovely opaque espresso colour, tan head. Chocolate toffee coffee scent, very nice. As it warms it gets better. Rich palate, alcohol is well-hidden, some carbonation matched with substantial malt flavours. Tops.

Pours a blood brown color with big dense tawny frothy. The aroma a little yeasty integrated with sweet malt. It’s an off dry (fruity, semi sweet) brew with a diverse flavor profile. It’s luscious and malty right up front with a slight hoppiness to follow. Then the earthy barnyard flavors protrude releasing complexities to include fresh biscuits, sourdough, and a wet campfire. The finish is long with a slight fruity bitterness. Alcohol is well hidden. This is the best canned beer I’ve ever had. I laughed when I tasted it. It’s so tastey. You’d never believe it was canned. I highly recommend this brew.

UPDATED: AUG 19, 2007 12 oz bottle via JOHNyKAT (hey this guy sends me a package for no reason exept that he is cool..f%&$8n’ hey!!!! thanks, mr kat YOU RULE!). Pours A DEEP DARK BROWN WITH A LARGE BEIGE HEAD. Nose is heavy chocolate malt(nuts), phenols, and yeast. Hmm, this is weird as it tastes like an easy drinking vanilla flavored porter but with much more going on...quite nice. Med body, low carbonation..i love this one but i dont like scotch ales, so whaT DOES THIS MEAN...?!!!!!! I DON’T really know, but i like this beer, it is good at 3 AM on an August night:=)

I’ve been dreaming about this can since my first one. Didn’t pour, so little idea of head/color/nose. Very sweet & rich smell, but not cloying, instead crisp snap on the body. Quite complex, with all the desirable dark notes (caramel, chocolate, nuts, smoke). The finish really does remind me of a whiskey.
