On tap at the brewpub. Translucent amber with no head. Aroma is caramel malt, medium body, low carbonation, and no lacing. Taste is rich caramel malt.

On tap at Barley’s #1. Poured clear coppery orange/red with a thin-medium off-white head. Aroma was dominated by caramelized malt, very sweet and fruity. I’ve had Scotch Ales with greater complexity, but this does "more with less," with lots of brown sugar, light fruit, juniper berries, toast, and a somewhat salty aftertaste. Medium-bodied. Very nice.

Rerate 06/17/03: Tried the cask-conditioned version of this and I liked it a lot. Served in a snifter. Pours a dark orangish-brown color with a thin beige head. Pleasantly heady malt and alcohol aroma. Nice full flavors of malt, caramel and a little spice. This is a very smooth beer, one that goes well with a meal or as a session beer. Worth trying if you can get it while it is in rotation. I still like the Robert Burns more though. 04/08/02 (3.2): Served at room temperature, this is a beer to be taken slowly. Not as good as their Robert Burns, it had a bit of a syrupy texture to it. Still not a bad offering though. A good dessert beer.
