Slacks (480), Bolton, Ontario, Canada Jul 23, 2007 Hand-Pumped Cask @ Bukowski’s Tavern, Boston, MA: Very delicate aroma, deep red/brown in colour, no head to speak of. The taste was heavy in alcohol, some good caramel sweetness, and a heavy maltiness that - by the time I was done - I was finding somewhat cloying. Still, an exciting one for me. Cletus (4999), Connecticut, USA Feb 26, 2006 On cask. Pours copper with a thin filmy head. Smells of peat, roses, some caramel and toffee. Tastes malty with some nice butterscotch like elements. Volgon (2487), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA Jun 30, 2004 AOBF ’04: Clear orange/red/brown with a small head. Sweet caramel and smoked malts in the nose. Full bodied with lively (but soft) carbonation. Long sweet ending with a touch of lambic funkiness. vwsteggie (684), Paxton, Massachusetts, USA May 9, 2004 Art of Beer Festival 2004: Has a dark amber/brown color with some carbonation and moderate head. Smell is of smoked/roasted malts. Taste is of smoked malts more than roasted and finishes somewhat smooth with little bitterness. Overall pretty good, but this brewery can do better.
