"Chestnut brown pour with one finger head and some nice lacing. The aroma was winelike with dark fruit. Nice notes of caramel squares, fruit, a touch of buttery diacetyl and a bit of an acidic finish. I really liked this. Good example of style."

[2] Review by staleyiv from Newnan, GA, USA who has tried this beer once. (3/31/2007 4:45:05 AM)
"Aroma is sweet and malty with some dark fruity overtones like dark plums as well as some chalky, chocolatey overtones with maybe some faint smoky overtones. Appearance is a rich, mahogany to reddish amber in color when held to the light with a medium-sized head on top that is light-tan in color and leaves lacing on the glass. The mouthfeel is full-bodied and robust and very tasty and much better than the most recent old ale I had before this one (Samuel Adams Long Shot Old Ale) and is very complex on the malt bill and very smooth with a palate that is wet-like and thick. The flavor is of dark fruits like plums and figs with overtones of smokey chocolate as well as some coffeeish characteristics in the aftertaste with a finish that is reminiscent of a weizenbock to some extent. Overall, great representation of the style and one of the best I have had to date and is similar to the classic Old Peculiar; recommended brew here for sure... "

"Nice toasted malt, strong malt content with some rich dark fruits and a nice alcohol presence. Wonderful Old Ale. Syrupy aroma heavy on the sweet malts and noticeable alcohol. Dense amber pour creamy head and some wicked lacing. Filling mouthfeel with a nice sweet finish. Flavor is grand, nutty and toasted flavors along with a grainy sweetness and some light bitter hops. Kudos to Scotland for this hearty beast."

"Translucent but dark amber-red coloring. Lemony aroma with a sweetness that increases over time. Initially, the flavor is a juxtaposition of mildly bitter hops rounded out by subtle malt, and the balance lingers then slightly sweetens. Hints of acidic alcohol. Drinkability improves as it warms; the carbonation bites when it's too cold. Light enough to be good with a meal, and not very warming. Overall, a good ale."
