May 3, 2008 Clear a transparent amber ruby with a spotty-lacing light tan head. Aroma of sweet dark caramel smoky peat and a touch of light fruity esters. Starts with good fullness and malty sweetness. Finishes slightly drier and warming with some peppery smoky character. A pretty decent Scotch ale.

Feb 28, 2005 On tap at the Sly Fox in Phoenixville. Poured a medium reddish-brown color with a small off white head. Aromas and tastes of malts (caramel and toffee) and somewhat bready. Light chocolate in there as well.

Feb 3, 2005 I can’t believe this is the first time I’ve had this. Pours burnt sienna with aroma of huge malt, some dark fruit, toffee, and caramel. Tastes very malty, with big toffee, caramel, some chocolate, and slight tobacco at the finish. Smooth, slightly ascerbic finish, and very well balanced and complex, as is the case with all Brian O’Reilly beers. BOR rules!
