A reddish brown ale with a thin moka head. Nice butterscotch aroma with light plums, fragrant and fruity. In mouth, almost like a Gilden Drak, sweet candy sugar, plums, butterscotch, smooth and rich. Tasted at Dunedin House of Brew, Dec. 12 2009.

Bottle from Liquid Solutions. Clear reddish copper color with a thin beige head. Aromas of caramel and fruit. Full bodied with creamy carbonation. Flavor is berry or cherry over light roasted caramel. More barley wine than scotch - not getting much smoke. Smooth finish.

pours ruby - orange with tan head. Aroma does carry the boozy feel of the beer with notes of dark fruits giving it a sweet almost honey aroma. Taste, caramel malts with abv well present. Some dark fruits as fig, cherry. Finish is syrupy and grainy with light spices and the dark fruits that linger on the palate.

Courtesy of kiefdog and fishingnet. Pours brilliant dark copper with gold edges and thin tan head. The aroma pushes up notes of musty dark fruit and some sweet malts and not too much else. The taste has levels of roasty malts as well as sweet malts moving into dark fruity esters. It gets fully sweet as the finish approaches with sweet malts, sweet raisins, prunes, figs and apricots. Very little sense of the big ABV.

Draught at Horse Brass. Poured ruby red with a thin head. Faint aroma of malt and peat. Caramel malt and peat flavour with a lasting edge of the tongue finish

12oz bottle. Ruby red-brown color. Rich and creamy with an alcohol infused sweetness. Not overly syrupy or hoppy, this one is all rich honey/amber malt and alcohol. I sampled it twice on draft at Max’s and was much more impressed with it then. A pretty decent Wee Heavy,

Who brought this beer to Eugene’s? - thank you, whoever you are - red beer, with a frothy head - sticky malt aroma, with caramel and cinnamon - overly sweet, with slight spicy notes - slightly doughy - pretty ambiguous all around, with heavy sweetness - a dry peaty character develops as it warms, but still fails to balance it.

I will make it short and sweet; comes off as a session beer, light and so not Scottish. A light hop bite to it but comes off as cat pee and fart mixed with normal flavors like syrupy strawberry. I really can’t believe this is so strong, comes off as a session beer with some off flavors.
12oz bottle, St. Paul tulip/snifter glass.

Not a god beer at all. Very light malt aroma. Malt and alcohol flavor. No complexity or any qualities that hide the high alcohol content. The high abv ruins the palate on this beer.

Bottle. Aroma is nothing to get even slightly excited about. All I’m picking up is a slightly metallic scent and a touch of sweetness. Pour is a nice brown hue with a minimal head that is almost completely gone after a minute. Flavor is fairly pleasant... it develops from an initial sweet malt presence to a bit of a spicy transition phase that ends with a bit of an alcoholic presence. I’m still picking up some metal in there from time to time... either in the nose or an occasional sip. Body is slighly heavy... not really syrupy, but just kind of thick. I am picking up some fruit presence that others have noted, but it is subtle and seems to get buried between the heavily caramel malt and the alcoholic finish. Ho hum!
