May 7, 2009 750ml. Pours a clear dark reddish brown with a big three finger tan head that lasts and leaves nice lacing. The nose is toffee, caramel and smoky peat. The taste is caramel, dark fruits, brown sugar, citrus hops and a touch of booze. Medium creamy mouthfeel. I actually prefer the barrel aged version much better, but this awesome as well.

Apr 10, 2006 dark brown mohagany in color, smallish head with a white hue. wood, sweet smokey malts, molasses, scotch, cocoa dominate the aroma. flavor is initially very sweet with a lot of chocolate, a full body, and with a tinge of smokieness. The balance in this beer is just wonderful. None of the flavors dominate the others and it leaves a very pleasent taste on my tongue. Alcomohol is definitely present but not overwhelming either. Thick and chewy and oh so delectable. Havent found an alesmith i havent liked. Looking forwad to trying the rest of the fleet.

Feb 28, 2003 2001- semi-cloudy red-purple with lots of debris; thin but persistent head; aroma of lots of prune and other dark fruits. HOLY MOLY!! Tons of depth to get my puny little head around. Lots of dark fruit. Alcohol riding shotgun wonderfully. Good dryness. A most excellent beer.

Dec 5, 2006 A bottle that I’ve been saving for about 6-8 months, alcohol unnoticable until I got half way through it. Much better flavor than I was expecting, not too sweet at all, there was plenty of dark fruit, but it was balanced out, maybe by alcohol? Some earth to it.. Damn I wish I tryed this sooner, one of my favorites from Alesmith! Great!

May 5, 2007 Bottle Pours a hazy deep chestnut with a dense light tan head and sheeting lacing. Malty light roast aroma with some woody peaty notes. Flavor was slightly sweet and malty, with brown sugar and woody malts. Low on bitterness, and big on malty flavor. Very nice.
Thanks to Jake65 for this one.

Aug 8, 2008 pours a dark hazy ruby brown with clumps of yeast floaters and a cafe au lait colored head. lots of sweet grain in the aroma... wood, caramel, earthy spice, very mildly smoky, some unidentifiable fruits and a bunch of alcohol (which eventually fades just to show up in the flavor). it kinda smells like a snickers bar?... the first sip is rather uneventful but leaves behind an aftertaste of tons of whole roasted coffee beans... i’m really diggin’ the aftertaste! the palate is super malty but it’s without a whole lot of sweetness to muck up the flavor (thumbs up!)... golden raisins, buttered cinnamon toast, rich grain, nutty, toffee, chocolate cream, a tiny bit of smoke, nice level of acidity and a bitter spiciness (from alcohol, malt or hops?) on the finish. full bodied with very low carbonation. smooth velvety mouth feel. nice balance of rich/malty -vs- spicy/dry and it just gets better as the night goes on...

Dec 6, 2009 (Bottle at Pikkulintu) Poured deep dark brown and almost clear with medium sized and white head. Aroma contained malts, treacle and chocolate. Palate was full bodied and quite dry with medium carbonation. Flavours were malts, roastedness, molasses, chocolate, dried plum and bitterness. Aftertaste contained malts and dried plum. Beer showed several features of Scottish ale and still wasn’t one. Still a very good beer.
