Oakes (7032), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Jun 3, 2001 Lightly malty. Struck me as little timid. argo0 (6289), Washington DC, USA Aug 11, 2006 (12oz bottle) Lightly hazed mahogany body flecked with yeasties, topped by a medium off-white head that diminishes fairly repidly. Aroma is moderately sweet, chocolate/caramel, coffee/roast, some cherry. Taste is moderately sweet, chocolate, cherry, some roast/coffee, light cola, seltzer. Light-medium body, light stickiness. muzzlehatch (4429), Burlington, USA Jul 15, 2001 Gorgeous deep brown, nearly opaque body with just a hint of red/orange peeking through on the edges; decent head. Then the flavor: strongly medicinal, alcoholic, little sweetness. I have the feeling I had a bad bottle, but I haven’t been thrilled with this brewer, so am I gonna give it a second chance? tiggmtl (4178), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Jul 18, 2004 Raisins, plums and cookie dough yeast in the aroma. Clear, dark amber with tan head that diminishes to ring. Dark fruit esters atop a malty palate with a somewhat chalky finish. A bit light in body for style. On tap at the Vermont Brewers Festival. jjpm74 (3447), Connecticut, USA Jan 18, 2005 Darky with a small head. Nutty with hints of raisins and bread. Not bad, but nt exactly a scottish ale.
