Mar 28, 2009 Bottle: Poured dark brown in tulip glass as suggested. Medium diminishing light brown head. Swells of raosted barley and vanilla. Sweet, almost toast like, yeasty flavor with hints of vanilla and brown sugar. Felt thick and creamy in the mouth. Overall... I want another one!

Mar 26, 2009 Bottle from Whole Foods. Pours a dark amber shade with beige head that leaves a fair amount of lacing. Smells of molasses and barley with traces of peat. Incredibly smooth for the style. Really features chewy caramel more than the earthy flavors of peat and barley. Tastes much creamier and a bit sweeter than I was expecting. Well done.

Mar 24, 2009 Bottle that came courtesy of Reluctant Scooper and Beer Merchants following a competition I entered, consumed 18-03-09 Many thanks to Simon (Haddonsman) and Phil L This poured dark brown with a light beige head. Aroma is noticeably quite sweet plenty of dark cane sugar, vanilla, dark sticky fruits and some gentle wisps of alcohol. Flavour is just so wonderfully smooth, this a real sipper, very indulgent feel about it, simply marvellous. There is a rich creaminess about this the dark fruits come through there are sticky dates, port or sherry (not sure which, I get them mixed up when they show up in beer) vanilla and its just lovely. Got to forget about rating it and just sit back and enjoy the experience, bloody wonderful stuff. A8 A4 F9 P5 OV17 4.3

Mar 21, 2009 Pours a deep reddish brown color with a small, foamy head tan head that fades and leaves spots of lacing behind. THe aroma is nice and shows milk chocolate, caramel, molasses, and some oaky vanilla. Hints of smoked peat are found as well. The flavor is just as rich, but well blended between the chocolate and caramel sweetness, and the vanilla oak and earthy hops. A touch of dark fruit, raisins, and figs comes through as well adding nice depth. Medium bodied, smooth, but just a bit warm from the alcohol. The sweetness lingers in the finish with the alcohol warmth all the way down. Really nice scotch ale, but I have come to expect nothing less from these guys.

Mar 20, 2009 [Bottle] Pours a hazy, chalky looking caramel brown with a moderate beige head that dissipates to nearly nothing. Aroma is very vinous, with some sherry-like oxidation and port notes, lots of caramel, fruity yeast, and some raisins. Flavor is dominated by the sherry notes, with raisins and caramel sneaking in behind. Some alcohol is also evident on the palate as well.
