Mar 18, 2005 (Draught) I’m definitely liking the darker Spinnaker beers more than the lighter ones. Pours a frothy, almond head and a deep red-mahogany body. Nose of peat and malt. Very malty and refreshing with a red wine tinge at the finish. Very enjoyable!

Oct 15, 2004 On the pour: a nice dark amber with a small tan head,kind of glows orange on the side of the glass.Sweet malty/earthy nose
On the Taste: real good,great blend of malts sweet,dirty,coffee,and a touch of hops,to round out the finish.
My only complaint...a tad and just a tad too much dark malt,giving it an occasional sharp or burnt taste.Really a bit mild for a true Scottish ale.
Great on the tongue,very little carbonation but this beer is slick and creamy.

Sep 28, 2004 Pours a cloudy deep brown with a thin long lasting head. Nice rich caramel aromas and some spicy yeastiness. The flavours were very subdued (bland). Such a dissappointment as the look and smell lead me to believe I was going to try somthing great. Ah well.

May 19, 2004 Thin for a scottish, hops are there but don’t stand out, not as malty as most scottish ales. A fair bit of black malt for a stottish which seems a little odd.

Jul 24, 2002 Very weak for a Scottish, slight alcoholic taste, but something was missing.

Dec 3, 2000 Updated: Oct 31, 2005Slighty hazy, tawney brown colour. Aroma draws a lot of toasty, nutty maltiness. Creamy body hold sugary notes and a bit of toffee. The finish is quite sweet, balanced only by cask acidity.
