12 oz can. (Was pushed in the back of my fridge awhile). Light caramel, burnt toast, and brown sugar. Has a metallic note. This sat in my fridge awhile. Thin body, watery character. Possible better before now. Maybe the metallic hint would not be present.

Undated can drunk 7/10/18.
Clear, auburn-chestnut with a beige head that fades steadily to a ring.
Very nice red fruit with peat and light toffee behind it. Sweet caramel, fig and plum all join in to create quite a rewarding, complex aroma. No heavy bread or any other overdone specialty malt notes that you often get in this style. Very aromatic for its size with no flaw or alcohol.
Dry and spicy with light bread and tons of enjoyable red fruit-like character from yeast and malt. Engaging carbonation and a soft, malty texture. Could have a touch more depth, I suppose, but hard to complain given the balance and great attenuation. Caramel and berry lingering. Could easily drink a liter of this (or so). Very refreshing, flavorful and clean.

12 oz can from somewhere along Highway 2. First North Dakota beer. Aroma is perfumy buttholes, caramel, honey. Pours hazy brown with a collapsing beige head. Taste is sweet and malty, finishing with a faint bitterness. Not bad overall, but the aroma is weird.

12 oz can. It’s a medium-dark amber color. Somewhat hazy. Small off white head, fairly fizzy. Light toasted malt flavors. Fairly nutty. Light herbal note. Caramel backbone but it’s quite mild. Taste is quite dry. Lots of nuttiness. Caramel with a light sour twang, not sour sour, though. Fairly thin. Moderate bitterness with more of that hoppy herbal flavor. Kinda boring.

12 ounce can into pint glass, purchased at the brewery on 11/13/2015. Pours crystal clear deep reddish copper color with a 2 finger dense light khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big caramel, toffee, brown sugar, toasted biscuit, light nuttiness/roast, plum, apple, herbal, floral, and yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/bready malts; with light-moderate fruity yeast/earthy hop notes; with good strength. Taste of big caramel, toffee, brown sugar, toasted biscuit, light nuttiness/roast, plum, apple, herbal, floral, and yeast earthiness. Light herbal/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, toffee, brown sugar, toasted biscuit, light nuttiness/roast, plum, apple, and herbal/yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/bready malts; with light-moderate fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; with a good malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light-medium carbonation and medium bodied; with a very smooth and moderately creamy/silky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming present after the finish as expected of 4.5%. Overall this is a very nice Scottish ale style. All around good robustness, complexity, and balance of dark/bready malts; and light-moderate fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; and very smooth and easy to drink. A very enjoyable offering, and extremely well done for the style.

Received in trade, thanks for the tick gregwilsonstl! Slightly hazy deep copper bordering on brown with a decent sized but short lived bubbly off white head. Initially some sulfur on the aroma but that gives way to a sweet smoky fruity affair with a hint of bitter toffee or butterscotch and hints of metal. The flavor is about the same. Glad to have tried, but also glad to finish this.
