Feb 9, 2008 (Bottle, Monk’s Café, Stockholm, 8 Feb 2008) Mahogany colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, grainy nose with notes of toffee, nuts and dark fruit. Malty, nutty taste with dark fruit, grain, caramel, chocolate and a short whiff of earthy bitterness in the finish. Malt dominates this tasty beer, but the finish is a bit short. Nice one.

Jan 7, 2008 (660ml bottle) Obtained in a trade with mgermani. Large frothy white head with a deep ruby red body. Nose is very enjoyably scotch and malty. Slightly husky and woody but mainly a smooth enjoyable finish. This from someone not terribly fussed on the style.

Dec 21, 2007 Bottle courtesy of mgermani: Poured an amber color ale with a small foamy head with minimal retention and no lacing. Aroma of medium caramel notes is definitely weaker then expected. Taste is a mix between some sweet malt with some toffee notes but in the end this just seems to be lacking character. Body is a bit thin with some medium carbonation. It appears this one fell short in a style that seems to be hard to master.

Dec 11, 2007 Bottle in Buenos Aires. Brown color with a light tan head. The aroma has cereal, biscuits, and semi-sweet malts. Smells like the fresh grains from a homebrew. A dry finish with malty bread flavors.

Oct 10, 2007 Mild butterscotch (diacetyl) and caramel malts in the nose. Clear amber coloured body is topped by a shy white head that recedes to ring. Caramel malts in the flavour with fair bitterness are undercut by a slick butterscotch note. Some biscuity malt notes especially in the aftertaste. Medium body with moderate carbonation. A fairly average brown ale. Tulip glass. Cellar temperature. Bottle (BB 04/08, Brewery Creek, Jul-07).
