Pours a murky amber with a thin white. Smells very malty, with caramel, cardboard, brown sugar, and oxidized notes. The taste is sweet malt accented, with a slight hop background. Butter and cardboard abound. Talk about a bland fucking beer huh?

Jul 20, 2008 Poured amber. Cream head. Kind of malty aroma. Sweet, but not malty sweet in the mouth, a little toffee and caramel. Dry finish, which is good since the flavor is not ideal. Confusing what they were trying for, not very good. Probably shouldn’t even be considered a scotch ale.

Jun 14, 2008 Pours a copper color with a small offwhite head. Flavor is slightly sweet malt with just a hint of smokiness in the finish. Not bad but not great either.

Jun 1, 2008 Bottle - Poured a clear copper-brown in color with a medium light tan head. Aroma was malty and slightly sweet with a hint of smoky peated malts in the background. Flavor is slightly sweet also with hints of fruit and a mild smokiness. Not bad, but only an average Scotch ale.

May 16, 2008 Bottle from the Winter mixpack, aroma is nothing special with a hint of malt but thats about it, a bit of fruit in the initial taste but that quickly fades to a metallic almost medicinal taste. Not good. Leaves a bad aftertaste in your mouth. Would not buy again

May 13, 2008 12 oz bottle. Clear copper with a tan head that disappears rapidly. Malty, slightly metallic nose, very light peat smoke. Nice lace, light to medium body. Marginal taste, sweet caramel and wisps of peat smoke. Another whatever from Matt.
