| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 10, 2009 Draft at Solana Beach. A brown beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of caramel and medium notes of malt, as well as light notes of butterscotch.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 14, 2009 Deep amber hue with big tan head. Caramel malts dominate with a touch of peat, light esters, and slight alcohol. Flavor is caramel and peaty malts, finishes prickly and drying. Thick and rich Scottish ale, great example of the style, easy-drinking! alexanderj (2227), Chino Hills, California, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 3, 2009 This was a bit of a dissapointment for me. On tap at Solana Beach. Color was reddish brown with an off white head. Aroma of caramel, fruit, yeast and flowers. Flavor was where the surprise came in, as it just was not great and almost seemed like it was off or something. More yeast like notes instead of nutty maltiness. Maybe I’ll try it again. jimbowood (950), Athens, Georgia, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Sep 9, 2008 Loads of rich malt flavor. A very sweet beer. Faint subtle hoppiness, not much else. Brown sugar and toffee, sweet roasted notes in the nose. Interesting, just not my cup of tea. hopscotch (5466), Vero Beach, Florida, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 3, 2008 Draft... RBSG... This beer rocks!... Beautiful, clear, dark copper ale with a small, creamy, white head. Big caramel and light milk chocolate in the aroma. Full-bodied and fatty with lazy carbonation. A slight nod toward the sweet side of balance. Loads of caramel malt kept in check by earthy, herbal hops. Lengthy, crisp, mildly acrid finish. World class Scottish ale!
