A dark brownish amber with a thin light moka head. Aroma of brown cassonade and candy sugar, with nice vinous touches, light calcium/musty notes. In mouth, a sweet caramel with herbal hops, coffee, raisins, and warming alcohol. The mouthfeel is rich and musty. Overall, another excellent B&F offering.

May 31, 2008 Bottle... Clear ruby ale with orange highlights and a small, frothy, khaki-colored head. Malty, earthy nose. Restrained wood, milk chocolate, leather or canvas, and toasted nuts. Medium-bodied with a silky mouthfeel and weary carbonation. Sweet and malty with notes of chocolate, praline and toasted nuts. Bittered very nicely; almost balanced, but it’s not. Shouldn’t be. Lengthy, minerally, mildly bitter finish. Kudos to glouglouburp for shipping this bottle from the Great White North to the Great Aqua and Green, Sub-Tropical South!

May 14, 2008 Bière forte rousse à 7,4% de style scotch ale.
Le goût du scoth est bien dosé, léger goît de caramel.
Soupçon d’épice et de cannelle.
Bière très claire, non brouillée.
Excellente bière bien équilibré.

Apr 18, 2008 Bottle courtesy of hogtownharry. Pours mahogany with a thin white head. Smells of roses, oranges, sweet malt. Tastes sweet and chewy with some nice spicy hints and an enjoyable lasting finish.

Mar 7, 2008 Bottle. Pours a deep ruby-orange with lots of bubbles and an average size mostly-lasting off-white head. Aroma of slightly burnt caramel malt, maple syrup and faint smoke. Flavour of toasted caramel, nuts, dark fruit, faint smoke and some herbal hops in the finish -- not bad at all, simple but pleasant. Medium bodied. Reasonably well done, I enjoyed it.
