Aug 16, 2008 This poured an amber apperance with a moderate white head. The aroma contains some oak, dark fruit like raisins, and spices. The flavor is rather sweet and malty with some caramel, raisins, molasses, and a tad bit of the alcohol showing. Overall a nice beer.

Aug 9, 2008 Pours deep copper with a thin off-white head. Big malt notes compliment dark afruit. Nice long finish. The alcohol is slightly forward, but this is still an excellent beer.

Aug 5, 2008 Draught @ GLB with Larry and M 8/5/08. Malts, wood, warm alcohol, rasins, and dark fruit. Belgian yeast flavour aspects are evident. An interesting and complex beer. Intense.

Jul 29, 2008 Bomber. Pours a deep reddish-brown with a quickly-dissipating off-white head. Aroma is heavy malt with wood/oak notes and dark fruit detectable as well. Aroma is heavy malt up front, with yeast and earthy notes on the front, dissolving into a woody finish and a slight, slight alcohol burn on the end. It didn’t have the strong grain characteristics I’ve come to expect in Scotch ales, but it was still a very nice experience.
