May 11, 2008 The King of all Scottish Ales. I have taken an extreme liking to Scottish Ales recently, and many I have tried have been weak, this however, was everything I wanted it to be. I smells like a chocolate malt at a 50’s diner. It’s pour is perfect. I got all kinds of deep complex tastes here. Some malt, chocolate, coffee, almond, and the faint taste of alcohol. I loved it and recommend it to all.

May 7, 2008 12oz bottle poured brown with ruby red hue. Aroma of malt, alcohol, and some coffee. Flavor was some malt, little coffee, alcohol, nut, toffee, and alcohol. I have not had many Scottish ales, but I enjoyed this brew.

Apr 28, 2008 Great Scottish ale! Got it on tap at DLD2008. Dark, rich body with a smooth, malty finish. Most Scottish ales are usually too malty for me, but this one was blended perfectly.

Apr 28, 2008 Brown pour with some ruby red coloring. Aroma a little weak, nuts, cocoa, malt. Flavor didn’t offer much, was really not too impressed with any facet of this scottish ale. Definitely a session ale. On tap at the FFF brewpub.

Apr 24, 2008 Pours a nut brown with some ruby red coloring behind it.
Smells of toffee and chocolate malt.
The flavor is very malty. The toffee and caramel notes are also present, but the malts seem to dominate.
Thick in the mouth, a heavy beer with a good balance of sweet and bitter.
Very drinkable, great brew. I’m going to buy more of these so that I can pound them down.
