Dec 5, 2009 dark brown/black with mild white head. some scotch like notes to the nose with a thick mouthfeel and moderate carbonation. flavor with mild hop contribution before a lot mid lovibond crystal malt before some smoked malt contribution. when colder the smoked aspect comes out and when warming the crystal predominates. a decent brew, the alcohol is well hidden, but not exemplary

Nov 29, 2009 Dark mahogany pour with a pillowy beige head. Caramel malt aroma with hints of cinnamon, some smoke and a touch of woody peat. Flavor is sweet caramel and toffee with hints of burnt sugar, smoke, wood char, peat, a little bit of leafiness. Finish is a little sticky with some sweet wood left over in the mouth. A fine scotch ale, very enjoyable.

Nov 29, 2009 Bottle from Hopscotch. Pours a ruddy brown with a red hue and a small beige head. Nose of rich, gooey chocolate and caramel fudge. Amazing likeness there. A touch smoky. Mouth is creamy, rich, full of that slightly smoky, somewhat bitter chocolate fudge and caramel. Much like eating a cake. Some hop bitterness brings up the back end. A tad watery. This is nice, and I’m pleasantly surprised. Thanks man!

Nov 22, 2009 12oz bottle. Deep mahogany-amber color. Minimal head fades out into oily patches. The aroma is deep, malty, smoky, Scottish. The mouthfeel is luscious, smooth,and creamy. Some mild dark fruit tastes among the thick dark malt sweetness. The big ABV justs adds to the depth. A really awesome beer, world-class stuff. Smooth toffee tones almost approaching Quad at times. Mellow Carbonation, cask feel. Well done.

Nov 14, 2009 Bottle- thanks William. Muddy brown, very light head. Nice aroma of malt and light smoky peat. Very sweet, caramel first sip. Rich. Finishes very clean, not a hint of sweetness at the end- just a touch of bitterness and roasted malt. Really impressive finish given how sweet and robust it started. No idea this was almost 10%.
