Jul 1, 2007 This scotch ale pours a medium brown color from a 22oz bottle. Small sized white foamy head. Aroma is brown sugar, molasses and maple. A medium bodied Scottish Ale. Malts are caramel, maple sugar, and toast. Hops are earthy and floral. Nice balance. Smooth taste. Just a hint of smoke. Nice beer. I really like this breweries “World Tour” beers. Wish I could get them on the West Coast. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Feb 23, 2008 Yup liked it. Very lovely beer. Has a nice toffee candy touch to it but is not very sweet. A bit of complexity from this guy. Very red ale, super light flavors of cream, some citrus hoppies, and sweet maltyness with a medium body. Very good.

Nov 1, 2007 Courtesy of DragonStout. Pours clear brown with tan head. The aroma is roasted malts, mild molasses, chocolate malts, earthiness and peat. Could have a bigger aroma. The flavor is fruity dates, caramel, prunes, earthiness and some mild peat just like in the aroma. It ends smooth and mildly roasty with a faint lingering peatiness.

Dec 12, 2007 nice sweet malt aroma, the body is velvety, and the finish seems to have more of the wee heavy personality.

Feb 27, 2007 22 oz - Deep orangey crimson, light tan creamy head. Nice toasty caramel nose that belnds with cherry and toffee-like notes. Soft smoke, chocolate, and doughy tones emerge on further warming. Malty toasty caramel flavors dominate, but continued faint smoke, boozy cherry (7.5%) and toffee notes still play a role throughout. Does get a light hop bitterness late to pull this all together, but this is more a malt show then anything else. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, toasted malt finish. A nicely done effort to show the style...
