Jun 13, 2004 OK, for the record...basically the beer was the wort for Sgt Major’s, fermented with an different yeast, and not dry-hopped. So it came out in something not dissimilar to Scottish ale. Light bronze. Chewy, with a good bitter backbone from those high cohumulone Chinooks. Toffeeish, with slightly leafy, tobaccoey notes. Not bad, but not especially cohesive.

Jun 13, 2004 Medium creamy head, tea, slight orange hue. Bitter, big hoppy nose, sweet malt. Clean, well hopped ale. Slightly earthy.

Jun 12, 2004 (Draught) Medium, white head with a lightly carbonated orange body. Nose of caramel and bubblegum. Flavour is true Scotch Irish: Hops - baby! Strong hops with undertones of cask whiskey and mild malt. Very good.

Jun 14, 2004 Draft at St. Lawrence Market festival 2004. Medium dark brown, smallish head. Aroma is hoppy but I cannot quite place what kind. Nicely malty with a bit of a hoppy bite to it. Strong lingering aftertaste I couldn’t place but I think it may have been what Oakes notes as tobacco. Nice beer.

Jun 13, 2004 This one for sure had hops go away. Malt there, and a fiant spectrum of herb, but the dominant flavour was smoke. Brown-yellow colour and white head. Whiskey hint
