Jun 3, 2007 Draught at 69 Taps in Akron. Color was a nice dark copper with a small diminishing head. Aroma was malty but a little weak. Flavor had nice malts and caramel flavors. It was light and pretty easy to drink.

Dec 11, 2005 Bottle. Had this back to back with the better known McChouffe, also a scottish ale. It didn’t compare too favorably. Relatively flat in palate and flavor. Dark brown with a little head. A little bit of barn, a little bit of malt. Happy to drink it but not too memorable. Liked the medieval warrior guy on the label though. Black Douglas sounds tough. I thought his beer would be a little stronger.

Jul 26, 2005 Dark copper brown. Richly malty caramel and brown sugar flavor. A bit of dried fruits under that. Sweet, but tasty. Just seems to be a little lacking compared to other Scottish ales I’ve had.
