[1] Review by RJA from Palm Springs, FL, USA who has tried this beer once. (8/17/2010 9:42:20 PM)
"A dark mahogany colored beer with a small ligt beige soapy textured head. There is some hang time. Not overly impressive. Settles into a lacing of spotty light film and thin ringlet. Nose is sweet caramel as one finds in the tasting. In the tasting dark, slightly tart fruit is thrown in. Well carbonated, mediumbodied and smooth, the beer is not overpowering and in that really enjoyable."

[2] Review by AleFan from Honolulu, HI, USA who has tried this beer once. (1/19/2010 10:57:16 AM)
"I was excited to find this brew. I am a huge fan of traditional Scottish ale. Needless to say that this didn't disapoint. From opening i was met with the fragrance of figs and nicely malted goodness. The moputhful was very crunchy and robust. A little bit on the swallow but oh so good. There was very minimal lacing. Overall, a very traditional take this rare brew style."

[3] Review by kinger from USA who has tried this beer once. (10/18/2009 6:18:59 PM)
"Boozy plum aroma with a nice pastry quality soon followed by a woody tobacco scent. Opaque, rich brown colored body. A bubbly and filmy tan head with spots of lacing. Medium bodied brew, chewy and smooth with a malty sweet finish. Roasted, sweet and nutty malts with a touch of smoke. Lots of dark fruit flavors with a pleasant earthy aftertaste. Very good ale.

[4] Review by lenusik from Montreal, Canada who has tried this beer many times. (7/17/2009 7:44:47 PM)
"A very good beer that I was able to get recently in Toronto. A brown Scottish ale that has some sweet malty hints. It goes down well, and while being sweet, it is not overly so like a lot of other Scottish Ales. The aftertaste is non-existent. A beer I could drink over and over again."

[5] Review by cyrenaica from Milton, Ontario, Canada who has tried this beer once. (7/3/2009 10:05:58 PM)
"330ml bottle
7.2% ABV
I tried this beer on July 3, 2009 at "Smokeless Joe's" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a dark reddish brown with a very thin white head. The aroma was dark malt, toffee and some hops. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was slightly sweet, malty, with a nuttiness. Very good beer."
