Dec 7, 2008 20080613 Draft at Capones. Usually I am totally unimpressed by these Scottish style beers as they can have too much sweetness and too little bittering hops. This was not the case. Very nice beer is a pale brown with smallish beige head. Aromas and flavors are nutty, sweet, and round with complimentary fruitiness and some nougat. Dry, lightly smoky finish.

Jun 24, 2008 On draft @ Capones with the Mad indian. Pours deep coppr wth a small off-white head. Aroma of caramel malts, slight roast and smoke, and mild toast. The flavor is caramel, toasted malts, smoke, and slight roast. Medium body and mouthfeel.

Jun 23, 2008 Tap at Capones the day after his SH promo night. Pours a medium amber, clear with some soft and sporatic lacing. Aroma is nutty at first, then a sweet caramel malt base, light fruity esters, some plasticy phenols, and light roast character. GOod doughy toasted malt flavor, light caramel, and toffee, lgiht roast. Mouthfeel is overall pretty smooth, but has a nutty grittyness left on the middle of the tongue. Good for an 80-90 shilling scottish ale.

Jun 17, 2008 On tap at Capones sampled with Stegosaurus . Amber pour with a bread, vanilla and malt aroma. A mild hop and bread taste. It was ok nothing mind blowing.

Jun 17, 2008 Draft at Capones. No Sir I didn’t care for it. Aroma seemed weak with only slight hints of perhaps caramel and a wee touch of breadiness. Flavor picks up where the aroma lets off with you smacking your lips to try and pick up flavors that just aren’t showing up. Next please.

Jun 13, 2008 On tap. Poured a deep orangish color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of light earthniess, caramel, nuts, and I was getting some bread in there too. Tastes of caramel, toffee, nuts, and the same breadiness. Sweet finish. Light lacing left on the glass.

Jun 12, 2008 On tap at Capones. Pours a mostly translucent deep copper/amber almost brown with a medium creamy bubbly/off white head that laced. Aroma of caramel, nuts, molasses, light smoke, and light toffee. Flavor of a lot of the same. Nice, smooth easy drinking Scottish ale.
