May 11, 2007 Very nice taste, much different from a normal ale. Very dark, very malty, not much hops. The alcohol is hidden very well. There is some brown sugar taste, it is very good and differnet from a normal ale.

May 9, 2007 Bottle. Pours with a brown color and a nice head. Aromas of nuts, malts and crak fruit. Flavors of malts, caramel, nuts and a bit of smokiness. Very smooth and a fairly substantial body.

May 7, 2007 Bottle from HiTime; poured a ruby tinted brown; with a large off white head. Aroma is sweet, earthy, smoky; hints of dark fruit and yeast. Very good mouthfeel; creamy and a bit chewy. Alcohol was completely hidden for me. Flavor was complex, yet subtle. Main flavor of caramel malt, peat and some smokiness; some sweetness, chocolate and hops as well. An amazing version of the style.

May 7, 2007 Bottle (9.5%) poured a dark brown color with nice light brown head. Aroma was big caramel, smoke, alcohol, roasted malts and some chocolate. The taste was very well balanced with a smooth alcohol finish. Nice caramel flavors mix with a touch of smoky malt and balance by just enough hops.
