May 29, 2003 Updated: Sep 16, 2004Red-brown with diminishing tan head. Voluptuously full-bodied, with some prickly carbonation. Malty/smoky/peaty, with some raisiny notes and very slight leafy/bitter hops on the finish, which recede as the beer warms.

May 22, 2005 Growler, from Richlikebeer, at the Jimmack invitational gathering. Dark brown, clear, tan head. Big assertive wonderful smokey carmel malty aroma. Some candied notes. Flavor not nearly as assertive, but nice malty carmel, with a very light drinkable palate. Decent overall.

Jun 6, 2005 Very nice foamy beige head tops the clearish burgundy body. Candyish and very earthy nose. Mild peatiness lends a certain deepness to the malt profile. Caramel, soy and soil work hands in hands. Bready overtones aptly cover the earthiness on the palate. Pretty rich malt, grapey and slightly smoky. Very good stuff. Thanks Erica!

Jun 6, 2005 The Lure:
Enticing caramel and toffee smoke pulls the nose closer into the growler to find an able roasted malt. Wealth lives within.
The Festivities:
Decent roastiness spikes the caramel malt. Fruitiness diversifies the rotund body. This achieves a full malt exposure without ever being cloying or too heavy.
Transcendence:
For a grandfather in the Highlands, a regular meal is a hearty meal.
