Mar 1, 2009 Updated: Jun 3, 2009Very subtle, Glenmorangie-like smoke in the aroma. Super rich malty sweet flavor.

Nov 24, 2005 750ml Bottle, 2005. Pours a nice black color with a foamy light tan head. Nose is a malty, chocolate, light roast and nuts. Taste is very malty, quite a bit of chocolate and a nuttiness.Roastiness appears and leads to a nice light alcohol warming. Feels very smooth and pleasant on the palate and finishes with a bitterness to wake you up from the soothing features on the tongue.

Nov 28, 2007 25.4 oz bottle, cellared 18 months. A deep but clear blood red with edgy tan froth. Concord grapes, peat, raisins and almond brittle. Smells incredible. Medium body with the barest hints of carb. Tastes like scotch at first, then coconut milk?, vanilla and toffee. Light drying with a tang. Immediately soothing; a fine sipper. I’d like to try a fresh one.

Apr 5, 2005 A big full on malty ride. Dark brown in color, tan head. Sweet all the way, nice aroma of brown sugar, molasses, caramel, and even a bit of rum. Full flavored, sweet and malty with a bit of booze. Full bodied, light warming. Very nice, thanks eyedrinkale.

May 24, 2008 75cl bottle. Dark brown with a beige head. Malty-sweet aroma with caramel, dried fruits, smoke, and nuts. The flavor is intense, with caramel, dries fruit, smoky earth, and just tons of malt. there are hops there, but good luck trying to pick them out. Full body with medium carbonation with small bubbles. Really good stuff. A quite refined sipping beverage. The balance makes it very drinkable for it’s strength. Only marginal alcohol is detected, though you feel it if you drink to fast.

Dec 7, 2002 Far and away the best scotch ale I’ve had. Caramel, toffee, nuts, a hint of chocolate. A nice hop kick in the finish to complement the well hidden alcohol. I’ve never been a huge fun of Scotch ales, but I could drink this on a regular basis. Now only if I could find it somewhere. Thank you hopsrus.

Feb 22, 2006 Updated: Sep 14, 2007Pours rich amber brown color w/ a bad comedian that only gets a small, shortlived rise from the frothy crowd. The poor guy is left w/ just a thin ring of followers. Aroma of sweet malty dark fruits w/ a mild coffee roast. Superfull nectar w/ lazy residual effers creates slightly creamy texture. Malt man malt man thick and sticky malt man. A sweet old fellow. Caramel, roasted coffee bean, cocoa, plum, and cherry flavors persist to the finish riding alongside a barrel full-o-hops. Robo Hop passes by and punches Malt Man in the belly then runs off. The friction leaves a light smokiness in the air and pushes up a few nuances of iodine and leather. The finish is long and sweet w/ a defined citrus rind component that digs in. A creamed, sweet coffee essence kicks in at this point then dissappears just as quickly. Overall: This beer is decadent, fat and soupy w/ a balancing hop act. Alcohol is well hidden. Highly recommended.
