Oct 29, 2007 Bottle. Dark ruby/brown with dissipating head. Fruity aroma with some metal. Creamy taste of toffee, butter and malt with a touch of fruity sourness. Dry finish of raisins, almost like a drier trappist.

Oct 26, 2007 16.9 oz- bottle. Big head, was expecting a Young’s Special London color, but it was much darker. Sweet aroma- cherries? Flavor was complex- it was a combo of a scottish smokiness, some hops of a bitter, and the chocolate of a porter. Really unique- had it with some smoked oysters- made my Fiday night.

Oct 7, 2007 Pours dark copper-black with a thick foamy head; almost like a stout, except strangely clear. Apples, caramel and raisins in the scent. Flavor is more herbal than fruity. Oregano, hops, and perhaps a hint of cherry. Very soft mouthfeel, especially on the lips. Kinda buttery, and not so much oily. Rather enjoyable overall.

Oct 2, 2007 very decent, incredibly biscuity, malty and bitter. Some raisins and nuts, some wheat. Very tasty and decent but something a bit out of the norm. Very interesting nonetheless

Sep 28, 2007 Pours a medium-dark copper-brown with a thick head and great lacing. Nearly unnoticeable aroma - slightly fresh and sweet but too subtle. Flavour is enticing - biscuity, dark and lightly toasted, buttery and with a balanced sweetness & bitterness. Hops are there but they don’t follow through to the finish, which is brief and dry and slightly spicy (think Chinese 5-spice). Body is creamy and well carbonated. This is not an exceptional beer, but it is certainly a drinkable one. Would go very well with fish & chips.
