[3] Review by EyeChartBrew from CA, Liechtenstein who has tried this beer once. (7/13/2005 11:47:13 PM)
"~ Year 2000 7-oz bottle.
*Sigh* What's with these damn little Rogue bottles and their lack of carbonation? I've had three 7-oz'ers from Rogue that past few months, and each one has had exactly zero carbonation. No amount of aggressive pouring produces even the slightest hint of a head, and don't even think about asking for any sort of Belgian lacing.
That having been said, this does have a fairly respectable nose to it, and the flavor profile has the classic malt n' peat smoke n' carmelized wort character that all good Scotch Ales pride themselves on. Even the finish is satisfactory, and that's coming from someone who doesn't neccesarily considers himself to be a huge Scotch Ale fan.
But both the drinkability and mouthfeel suffer from something this flat and lifeless. Like a few other quality beers that end up D.O.A. carbonaton-wise, I'd be tempted to toss a few of these into a Corny keg and force carbonate it. But since I have this measly 7-oz sample to go by, that's not going to happen.
A tasty Scotch Ale, if you can find one that has retained some sort of carbonation.

"1996... Poured a hazy brown color with no head. Aroma of caramel, chocolate, nuts, light roast and alcohol. Taste of chocolate, roast, peat, and caramel. Smooth, flat mouthfeel."
